A Blissful Thailand Diving Cruise: Surin, Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock
This trip to Thailand has been a bliss!
Four days exploring the Surin Islands, Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock, with a bunch of fun people from all over the world.
We were very pleased to welcome on board Fabrice, Marie, Sophie, Olivier, Jeremie, Thierry and Florence from France; Julien, Kamilla and Peter from Australia; Wolfgang from Germany; Jesper from Denmark; and Lynn from the USA.
Lots of laughing and diving would be the best summary of it!
Look at those smiling and charming faces 😉
