After a nice trip, we appreciated our breakfast coffee watching the wonderful scenery of the Similan National Park.

With 40 meters visibility on all dive sites, this was a experience into the big blue We started off at our secret divesite, and, as always, it was a really scenic and colorful scuba dive.

At the northern part of the Similan National Park, we viewed lots Sea Turtles, a Napoleon Wrasse and a big Triton Chromodoris Nudibranch on the go.

Next morning we started going north, with our first stop at Koh Bon. As we watched a nice Leopard Shark at the pinnacle, a giant Manta Ray passed by.

Koh Tachai, famous for its strong currents and plentiful marine life, lived up to the reputation, not only the strong current, but also a couple of funny Leopard Sharks. Schooling Barracudas in the distance, lots of Trevallies and Fusiliers and, of course, all the Batfish getting cleaned. Sunset dive with Yellowtail Barracudas.

At Richelieu Rock we did 4 dives this trip, all of them first rate! Big school of Chevron Barracudas, lots of Jacks, two Zebra Moray Eels, a two of Harlequin Ghost Pipefish and plenty of fancy Nudibranches, including Black-margined Glossodoris, Annulated Chromodoris and Beautiful Risbecia. A truly inspiring nightdive, with an unbelievable amount of life, including three Decorator Crabs!

Back on Koh Tachai next morning, we had yet another Leopard Shark coming in close for a look! Afternoon dive at Elephant Rock, where we had a quick visit from a Guitar Shark! Sunset dive at Hideaway. Fun and enjoyable, with plenty of fish.

The 5th, and unfortunately last, day started with a pleasant scuba dive at Morning edge. Spearing Mantis Shrimp, Stingrays, Clownfish and a Turtle. Last scuba dive this time was at Sharkfin Reef; good as always, with three Ribbon Eels, Jawfish, Nudibranches and a Whitetip Shark.

A very nice trip back to Phuket.
