Really nice second dive of the day. The topography on this dive was great and quite dramatic with big caves and swim-thru’s. Lots of coral in good condition. Saw lionfish, Moray, Huge Crab, Humphead Parrotfish and a banded sea snake!! Came right at me! Great dive

Saw Barracuda, turtle (hawksbill), 2 Leapord Sharks sleeping in the sand, big lionfish and lot of smaller reef fish. On ascent saw 2 maring leapord sharks (danced in front of us – amazing!! Angela kicked Tracey in the head which took the edge off it a bit for her!! Shame – incredible dive!

Saw big Pipe fish, Clown fish, Beautiful anenomes and lots of staghorn coral. Lots of long spined sea urchins!! Really nice easy dive!

Small Island ti the NE corner of Bida Nok. Small catastrophe with leaking camera housing soon after entry.Lovely hard & soft coral and anemone gardens. Shades of finding Nemo, with a number of clownfish in the anemones.

Large (10cm) yellow seahorse hiding in the wall. Large scorpion fish nestling in the top of a barrel sponge. Free swimming porcupine fish and a lovely large nudibranch, phyllidia variosa.

A thoroughly lovely dive.

Viz not so good at depth. Bit like diving on a foggy day. However, saw blue spotted eagle rays, ribbon eel, black tip reef shark. Topography was great – big boulders the size of houses and spent the safety stop just skimming over them. Brilliant!

Final dive in the Similan Islands! Saw another Leopard Shark, Sweetlips and other reef fish.

Great view of Manta Ray circling at about 10m on descent, with two more sightings later. Strong current between the limestone rocks. Also saw Spotfin Anglerfish, Moray, Ovula Ovum Cowrie, Chromodoris Fidelis nudibranch with 2 Purple Dragons.

Like the others on the last trip here. A spectactular dive! Brilliant Viz, loads of absolutely everything. Many white tips reef sharks – some agressive with one another. Giant frogfish. Colossal shoal of chevron barracuda – they blocked out the sun! WOW! Many green and hawksbill turtles and every reef species imaginable. Another great dive at barracuda point – but i’ve noticed that we only see the barracuda in the morning.

Sea Hares, halibut

Sting rays, sand dollars
