20/1/2019

This last trip as been a non-stop fish soup all around the Mergui Archipelago!
Schools of fishes worthy of world class diving ;)

Lucky ones on board: Emilie, Alexandre, Annick and Jean-Luc from France; Wouter and Aart from Netherlands; Janel and Oliver from the USA; Alex from the Philippines; and Bernhard and Martina from Austria.

Life on the reefs was unbelievable, you didn't know where to look at!

Incredible schools of jacks! Thousands ... hundreds ... who can tell?!

Barracudas ...

Rainbow runners, snappers, batfishes ...

Beautiful corals of all types ...

It has been macro photo week ;)
A bunch of photographers with huge cameras, happy with our great room just for them!

Spending hours exchanging tips, advices, infos, pictures ... and so much more!

Their objective = everything smaller than 1 centimeter!
Here are some of them!

And a little bit bigger ;)

Some awesome new creatures found this week!
A giant frogfish :)

And a pinecone one !!!

And among all these, our sweet sweet juveniles trying to hide!

Our favorite psychedelic nudis and flat worms ...

Manti shrimps with their crazy eyes!

The ones who are never never happy to see us!

And some other very nice encounters ...

Nurse shark again in our secret spot!

Spanish dancers ...

Seahorses and ghost pipefishes ...

So much beauty in every little thing down there!

And also above the surface ...

All of this explains the smiles on everybody's face!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

The Smiling Seahorse team wishes you all the best for 2019 ...

We had a fantastic celebration for this New Year's eve with a funny group of people: Nina, Alexander and Ashley from USA; Serge, Anne-Claire, Conny and Kurt from Belgium; Ken, Dixon and Mick from Hong-Kong; Marianne, Claire, Bruno and Jean from France; Kamal from Germany and Sofia from Sweden.

We had a delicious barbecue cooked with love by our chef Chewi and his help Youb!

While the customers were enjoying the last 2018 sunset ...

... we were preparing the cocktails ...

... that satisfied all of the us ;)

It was just a warming up, everybody was already in the mood !!!

Even Sharky had a great party ;)

It was followed by amazing fireworks at midnight in the middle of the Mergui Archipelago, that were so astonishing that everybody was too busy watching, instead of taking pictures of it :) !!! Unforgettable experience ...

But let's go back to the beginning of the cruise !
Nice weather ...
