Yesh.. the Similans Island, Phuket is just the place to get away from the Lunar New Year hordes back home. Decided to give it another shot as we were unable to reach the famous Richelieu Rock on the last two trips. Expectancy was high among all the divers most of whom were embarking on their maiden trip, hoping to spot the whale shark or Manta ray that are in season. For me I was just contented to be diving, had to constantly remind myself to just enjoy the dives regardless of the conditions.
In torrential rains we headed to the docks to equip our dive gears and dinner on board the vessel. A series cracking sounds emitted from Firecrackers (a Thai seaman's tradition for protection) disrupted our bubbly conversations. That was the sign for us to set sail for the Similan Isles and Richelieu on a 14 dive 4D/4N adventure.
