Similan Liveaboard: Trip report November 18, 2013


It was a another great trip aboard our Similan Liveaboard. New friends, returning friends and some amazing diving all of us happy and ready for even more!!

Similan Liveaboard fun http://wickeddiving.com/similan-liveaboard-divingPerpetrations didn't took long with the top notch team working from Brett, Albert and Krystal along with the trip leader Sinan and we were ready to welcome our guests on Mariner; Mick, Tom, Katie, Lotta, Trine, Aina, Torgier, Mikkel, Pal, Daniel, Stine, Marte, Kristian, Tord, Nils, Mikael, Valarie, Douglas, Finlay, Trish and Billy.

After our welcome coconut drinks, we did our general boat and trip briefing and have a quick look to our rooms. As usual at 8 pm the ring bells and delicious Thai food buffet was on. The rest of the night people just enjoyed some beers and shared lots of laughs on our sun deck.
Next morning comes with a surprise because there was no current at all in our first dive site Anita's Reef. After safety, dive site and course briefings Sinan's and Albert's group were the first ones to jump. Then Norwegian group make their way to the dive deck with their instructors; Brett, Edward and Jerome. Last group was Krystal and after she jumped the boat leave the dive site so we could just enjoy the silence of the underwater.
2nd dive site comes with another surprise; strong currents. But with a combined experience of 10.000 dives between the instructors they managed it like it was a lake diving.
After 3rd dive of the day we had some snacks and make our way to the beach as known as Honeymoon bay. It's just a piece of heaven and that's why King himself spend his honeymoon here. A little bit of clean up, swimming and relax made everybody refill their energy.
After dinner, fish books and beers were on the table and lots of old diving stories from all over the world. But wake up call was going to be early so everybody went to bed early.
2nd day the dives went incredibly smooth and relaxing. In order; Elephant head, 3 trees and North point. 

Night dive site was a surprise for the group because Sinan picked Koh Bon island for it. It was 2 hours ride from the Similans but it deserved every second of the ride.

3 day similan liveaboard trip   http://wickeddiving.com/similan-liveaboard-diving3rd day morning we did our dive on the wall and second dive Koh bon bay. When the last group come to the surface we had 10 new advanced open water divers and we celebrated it with Katie's birthday together.
Next week 12 of our guests from this trip are coming back to have this experience again with us which shows us we are doing something nice and because of it we are so happy.
