Always a pleasure to have you back on the boat

27/3/2016

Always great to see and have onboard some return guests. This we had the pleasure to welcome back Jean Paul and it's happy french buddies, who came two years ago, are back for another two cruises in our company.

As soon as the trip started, we felt at home, we shared the different diving trip we all did since the last time we met and shared our best pictures, we also laughed at the video montage from the last trip, what a fun time!

As good french, we also love to talk about food, specially when we can enjoy this amazing cheese from the continent. Thanks for the little present.

Very nice to dive one more time with our doyenne, Brigitte, who is still following the group and to find some nice creatures underwater.

We had the chance to see some turtles, a ghost pipe fish, a nice clown triggerfish, few rays, barracuda, snapper and trivially.

So the first cruise is done, and our lovely guests are now enjoying the quiet island of Koh Phayam while we prepare the next departure,. We are all looking forward for our last exploration trip in Myanmar this season. Last time we went up there a group saw a school of mobulas passing by and we hope this time we'll all get lucky!!!

The South of the Archipelago and its surprises

What a great visibility in the south of the Archipelago today. We had some nice and quiet dives with almost no current nor surge. We went back to McLeod island and the 4 dives around were really nice and smooth.

Even Christine, the snorkeller, gave a try to scuba diving and had so much fun with many fishes roaming around all the beautiful corals that she even ask for a second dive on the next day.

Our lucky guest were happy to see an eagle ray in a cave, a big school of curious trevally, many seahorses, plenty of amazing nudibranch, a leaf scorpion fish and a beautiful giant frog fish !

Thank you for reading us and don't forget to follow us on our Facebook page to enjoy all the pictures taken.

Our First exploration trip in the North of the Archipelago

12/3/2016

And we had another great cruise with a full boat, thanks to our 12 guests to make this possible. Mostly french people on board, and a good atmosphere floating in the air.

We had to modify a little bit our schedule because of the wind but we finally manage to go up north to Tower Rock, interesting dive site where we found some nice species, ghost pipefish, stonefish, octopus, eagle ray, blotched stingray, white and black tip sharks. So we will definitely go back up there.

I would like to give a special thanks to Klab, our captain who did quite few full night of navigation, and also on the day. A lot of miles navigated, and even when the sea was a bit ruff, he managed to deal with perfectly.

We will go back next month to explore some other part around the north of the Archipelago and we all look forward to explore some new divesites.
