Going on a liveaboard trip of 4 days and 4
nights was one of the best decisions I took so far in my trip. The itinerary
was mainly Similan Islands, Koh Bon and Richileu Rock; the first three days we
did 4 dives a day and on the last one 2 dives. The instructors and crew onboard
were awesome, the food was equally amazing and the boat itself very comfortable.
The first dives we did in Similan Islands and I had never
seen such a perfect visibility as that. The nature there and the coral reefs
are still well preserved and the variety of sea life, especially “small
things”, is huge. After that we moved north towards Koh Bon and did a night
dive, which was also amazing – well, these are my favourite!
Koh Bon was one of the sites where we would be able to spot
the manta rays and whale shark, but they didn’t show up that day. L That’s ok; it didn’t
make the dives any worse to be honest.
After that we kept moving north and our next dives were in
Richelieu Rock, site discovered and named by Jack Cousteau when a fisherman
took him there. The dives we did there were the best I believe; once again not
due to any huge creature spotted, but for the diversity of sea life, all so
colorful and working in perfect harmony.
Well, better than my words I will leave some pics, which will speak by themselves. The photos taken underwater were made by another diver and one of the instructors onboard.
