Moray Eel vs.Triggerfish
I booked a tour with Gentle Giant and MV Raga to the Similan Islands. Both tours were fantastic. Great staff and lots of sea life to see. The dive sites are varied and, for me, among the most beautiful ever. Special thanks to the guides, Sasha, Spice, and Freshy. Thanks to them, I got to see lots of cool things that I would otherwise have missed. The whole staff does a great job, and on every tour, the friendly owner stops by to ask if everyone is satisfied.

I was looking for an adventure, but instead I found a family that loves diving as much as I do.
Everyone on the crew was great and made this experience very special. Great group of divers to share this trip with. I felt like I have known them for a long time. Astounding rock formations at Elephant Head. The huge amount of marine life at Richelieu, that is impossible to describe. Must see for yourself. The beauty of Similan. Special thank you to Fei. You will always have my respect and admiration.

Best of Thailand
A very nice trip offering the best of Thailand. The boat crew, Gai, Anne and Lee supported by the 2 lovely always smiling ladies who cooked and served us. And of course the boat staff who helped us gear up. Did the South Thailand dive sites which was a first for me.
