Similan Liveaboard - Wicked Diving 03 Trip Report

Another fabulous trip just returned! Word from the boat was a bit of rough seas the first day - but great after that.


The two major highlights of the trip were Guitar Sharks - A large one and a very small juvenile (Mother and child?) at North Point. These are a pretty rare species around the Similans and listed as endangered by CITES. More Details on the sharks are here

The other major highlight was the Thecacera Seaslug. These are gorgeous and amazing to see! ( I have still never seen one, but they brought back some amazing video footage that we'll hopefully see tomorrow).

This one is massive, has been in the same locale for almost one year and is a true delight.

(This picture is borrowed - more details tomorrow)

Aside from that it was a good trip with a nice bunch of friends. Tomorrow the boat heads back out with a full entourage. Advanced courses, Open Water courses and some people along to relax and enjoy some diving.
