Incredible Similan Dive Sojourn with exceptional Vessel, Crew & delicious food !
Incredible Similan dive sojourn with Richelieu Rock as the highlight. Exceptional crew, food was delicious - do not expect to lose weight on this trip. Very chill cruise director & extremely professional experienced DM’s. Sawasdee Fasai will not disappoint:) loved the coffee machine and free, yes free Nitrox ! I am hoping to return soon, one of the guest on our trip actually booked the very next sailing because it was that good of an experience:)
