Wicked Diving - Similan Liveaboard trip report

The first official trip of the season is back and it was great!

Team Czech was out in force and showing more than most expected!

We had an Advanced course and even an Open water course happening on the boat. Tuk Taught that one!

Ricky and Tuk were onboard, as were our newest team members - Therese and Karina.

As the trip was sold out - the whole crew and all the guests played some really exciting games - Werewolf and Toothbrush. While it may sound strange, it is a total blast! Wait until you try it! Instead of drinking games we do charades and other participation games on the boat - everyone gets involved and it is lots of fun! Safe for the whole family

The conditions were nearly perfect - with 35 meters visibility on Koh Bon, flat seas and great marine life.

There were glassfish in massive numbers, making some of the dive sites seem to move and swirl like living creatures.

Bon soong had one of those amazing moments that only occur a few times a month, slack tide, with great conditions. . Great visibility, hundreds of lionfish out and several sets of mating cuttlefish!

AS tonight is Loy Kratong (a sort of end of rainy season celebration) we offer this humble pictures...well...forgot the camera on the trip...so the only pictures from the trip! Our Radar at sunset and the new liferaft at sunset. Not really relevant to the season! But hey - we're still happy!

The next trip departs on the 4th, which is a bit short notice...but we still have spaces available on November 11th Similan Diving Liveaboard Spaces for you!!!

I’m glad to hear that you begun the season. The first trip and a success as always. This is just the beginning of a great season I’m sure! I see that there have been some changes on the dive deck, I like it! I hope to join you on some trips in January and check out more improvements on the boat. =) Miss you all and I wish you all the best!

Henrik,

the dive deck is almost twice as big - and that weird table/platform in the middle of the kitting up area is gone - there is SO much more space onboard!

Look forward to having you come out! It does look to be a great season!

The first DMT's 3 Swedes and one German...sounds familiar?

Haha!!! With that many Swedes and an extra spice of a German we all know what a success it will be! =)
Good luck to you all and see you soon!
