Very nice surprise with this cruise on the Similans / Richelieu.

Dive 6N/5D on the Similans.Nice welcome, nice brand new SSI center, same for the diving equipment (new BCD in my case)Night sailing to the Similans. Then the days go by quickly and it's dense! Wake up at 6 am, adapted briefings, safety is always highlighted, 4 dives per day (or even 5 with night diving) by changing sites continuously: on the 9 islands among the Similans with a small afternoon tour on a beach, Koh Bon, Tachai and finally Richelieu for a whole day (on the same site 4 dives, but it is also the most famous in the cruise industry... and rightly so).Last day 2 dives around Koh Bon to hope to see mantas... No luck it will be for next time!Very good food before / after each dive, we are not likely to die of hunger!On the diving side, visibility much better in the Similans than in the Phuket/Koh Phi Phi sector, great seascapes with a lot of life (fixed and fish), impressive schools, especially the hunting scenes at the Dome first and even more so at Richelieu. Quite a few nudibranchs, relatively few crustaceans. Much more interesting than the Red Sea for me, but a notch below Indonesia where there is more life in all the gorgonians, alcyonarians and other comatulas...

Nice and knowledgeable staff (boys, cooking, diving). Interesting and varied diving program. Good atmosphere with the other divers, and not too many on board (16 for 24 maximum).
