We started this new adventure from Phuket on a very windy day, heading towards our very first dive at Koh haa lagoon. After we went down to Hin Deang and Hin Muang for the next 2 dives and the night dive at Hin Deang, it was really nice!

The following day was planned to be around Koh Lipe area but we could only have 1 dive at 8 miles due to wavy conditions. We found shelter for dive 2 and 3 at Pattaya corner and finished the day with calm conditions at the brightly coloured Stonehenge with a magnificent dive full of barracuda and 20m visibility!

After that it was time to go back west to Hin Muang and hin Daeng hoping to see some giant flap flaps... no luck with pelagic this time but we still had some beautiful dives with great visibility and no more waves! Our 3rd dive of the day was at koh Haa Neua before setting sails for the Similan Islands, this part was really nice as we were cruising we had some nice drinks watching the sun go down… It was a beautiful moment to share with our guests!

1 Next day started at shark fin reef, followed by West of Eden. After that we made a stop at our beloved Donald Duck bay for some beach hopping before the 3rd dive at 3 trees!
At night we offered the option between a Blackwater dive and a sunset dive at Koh Bon, both were amazing!
Sunset divers caught a glimpse of 2 white tips and a guitar shark and Blackwaterdivers saw a seahorse and 2 paper nautilus (male and female) during floating offshore! It was amazing!!

Next day we did 2 dives at Koh Bon which were both amazing with 2 white tips again and an eagle ray! Then we moved to Koh Tachai with great conditions and a massive school of black fin barracudas! We wrapped up the day with our infamous bbq night taking this occasion to celebrate Marco’s birthday with some delicious cakes!
 Male paper nautilus are much smaller then their female counterpart |  female also build a shell to hide their eggs giving them this "nautilus look" |
Did you know Paper Nautilus are actually not Nautiluses at all?
The trip ended in Richelieu Rock for the next 4 dives… We found even more ghost pipe fishes than the previous trips, they seem to be everywhere these days. We were amazed by the abundance of macro life! In Koh Bon we found another white tips shark before saying goodby to the islands and heading back to shore.
