I had dived the Similan Islands before and liked it so much that I decided to go there again. Unfortunately the visibility wasn’t as good as the previous time so the video (at the bottom of this post) isn’t as nice as I would have liked it to be.

Above the water everything was fine though

Donald Duck Bay, where I was told off by our drill sergeant for swimming from the boat all the way to the beach, is dangerous!

Lovely beach

We did our one and only night dive in this bay, our boat is the one in the middle, seen from the back, the Manta Queen III

Beautiful sunset

And sunrise!

Nice sundeck

Awesome thunder and lightning display

Instead of sleeping in our cabin we slept on the deck, much nicer and great for stargazing

The food wasn’t particularly great but the boat was not too bad

Philip (bald, big beard), Jan Philipp (man bun) and Jan (beard) were my dive buddies this trip, I met Philip earlier this year in NZ

Buddy check

And off they go to dive the Boonsung wreck

I guess the dive was awesome

Sehr gut!

Peace, bro!

Those were our dives, I skipped #14 as I expected visibility to be extremely poor but the others said it wasn’t too bad so I did the second dive at the Boonsung wreck

Back on land and off to dive HQ

Which was here, next time I will go with the Oktavia again

Diving in the Andaman Sea, again
