Amazing group one more time on this cruise in the Mergui Archipelago!
We had the pleasure to welcome on board: Ashley and Keith from the USA; Nikki from Netherlands; Päivi from Finland; and last but not  least ;) Dominique, Geneviève, Bruno and Alex from France!
All of them have deeply fallen in love with these beautiful islands and their surrounding waters.

Every new landscape, every new dive site was ... "magnifique", amazing, incredible!

And that's true, no need for words ... don't you think? 

Between the dives, island hopping to deserted islands ...

​Dream isolated bungalows...

But mainly, on this trip, the main attraction was the New Game on board thanks to Dominique ... called the "Pan Pan"! Quite an addictive one ;)
​Dominique, Nikki and Sofi got caught!

White tip sharks, huge marbled rays, octopusses, turtles ... as beautiful as always! But this week our special one was ...

A Nautilus enjoying a funny ride with a jellyfish!
Thanks Päivi for the picture ;)

At night time, our dancing queen Nikki was always on the moove!
Ready to dance?

Nice sunsets ... never enough!

And the food ... quoting Dominique: "It's not only organic, it is also orgasmic!" Thanks to our fanstastic Chef Chewi!

A great crazy team always ready to make your journey the best one ...

And a very safe serious Captain!

And for the courses, this week the winner was .... Alexandre Cohen! Not only he did his Open Water course, but also the Advanced one; and he couldn't stop so he passed his Nitrox certification ... and then finally, the cruise was over ;)

Congratulations also to Geneviève for her Nitrox certification; Bruno for the Deep Specialty; and Ashley and Keith for their Deep Adventure dive.

Special thought to Ashley and Keith who were starting a one year trip with us ... hope you'll have great moments, discover fantastic places and meet amazing people! One thing is sure, you'll never be the same after ;)
Have fun!

Great vibe on board!

And underwater, magical surroundings ...

Not only we were spoiled with huge schools of batfishes, barracudas, rainbow runners, trevallies and fusiliers everywhere ...

​It was also nudis festival!

Shrimps and crabs were part of the party too!

Seahorses and pipefishes ...

The very little ones ...

Our favourite frogfish ...

The smily stonefish ;)

The welcoming seasnake ...

The singing ribbon eel ...

And the unbelievable partners ...

​Beautiful landscapes under and over the water ...

Our cruises are not only "dive, eat, sleep"!

It is also discovering isolated islands ...

Kayaking ...

And enjoying the moments on our beloved boat together!

And always astonishing sunsets ...

And my first turtle kiss ... unforgettable ...

On this last cruise in Thailand, you could really understand why Similans and Surin islands are the top of Thailand's dive sites. Water has been incredibly crystal clear, perfect conditions and plenty of fishes ;)
We were very happy to welcome on board: Brian, Kim, Brooklynn and Lynn from the USA; Claudio and Giovanna from Italy; Oeds from Netherlands; Amélie from Switzerland; David and Sylvain from France.

​Our special highlight was meeting this one in Koh Bon ...

In every place, we could meet this cute ones ...

In Koh Tachai, barracudas all around...

In Richelieu Rock, we were in the middle of thousands of fishes ... just unbelievable!

​And a cute little thorny seahorse ...

We could see big ones:

​And also smallies:

​On the boat, there was an atmosphere of freedom and happiness ...

​And also a new hairstyle ;)

Thanks everybody for the great mood; and congratulations to Amélie for her Advanced Open Water certification.

​Sylvain, was awesome having you again on board; and we are sure, it will not be the last time ;)

Ultimate Marine Life guide to Mergui Archipelago...
Marine life in Mergui Archipelago Myanmar has a large area of the Andaman Sea, made up by Mergui Archipelago and the Burma Banks is also very rich in Marine life.
We have been diving in Burma since 2012 and I wrote quite a few blogposts about the critters we encountered here.
