Similan Islands Thailand - Dive Trip May 2006

Similan Live-aboard Trip May 2006 - scuba divingYep, that time once more! Keeping up with tradition we like to offer the Similans scuba diving trips out of season as well as in the high season...  This has distinct advantages. Whilst others do not have the stomach to brave the potentially rough seas and weather a little rain... we came, we saw and we conquered (and many of us have the T-shirts). Just one week prior to the trip, Alistair the boat owner called me to mention that there might have to be a change in the dive schedule due to bad weather. The day that we arrived in Phuket the sun poked it's head from the clouds and shone down on us. All bar day two at Elephant Head Rock where the heavens opened to clear the air we had wonderful sunshine and calm seas. Every trip so far we have brought good luck and the weather with us:-). The guys and gals on the trip were Brycee, JD (2nd trip), Erin, Fabiozo, Dangerous Dave, Desi, Lisa, Crowley (2nd trip), Wayne, Julie and Pj.

The scuba dive sites of Garden of Eden, Shark Fin Reef, Beacon Reef, Elephant Head Rock, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock and Koh Bon Pinnacle were visited amongst others.

The trips are run every few months - feel free to contact if you wish to join...

Thanks to all of the guys and gals that made the trip a great one. JD for traveling all the way from the UK and a very special thanks to Crowley for doing an excellent job assisting with all.
