Similan Islands, Thailand – April 2006
The Similan Islands remain one of South East Asia's most impressive and affordable dive destinations, offering spectacular encounters with manta rays and more
Just back from two glorious liveaboards in the Similan Islands - had some stunning close encounters with manta rays and leopard sharks, and even managed to capture some of the action on my new Nikon D70s and Ikelite underwater housing combination. I'll be writing up a full report of my Similans experiences soon, but this is just to say that the reefs are thriving, the mantas seem even more prevalent than in previous years and now is the ideal time to start planning your own visit to the Similans for when the season begins again in October this year.
Right now the season is winding down - liveaboards will stop running around mid May. I went with my friends at Phuket Diving Safaris for the fifth time and their service was as good as ever - great boat, great food and great staff.
You can read my previous, post-tsunami report about the Similan Islands here on Divehappy too.
