Getting customers for this trip was a funny story: Pascale and Ueli recognized our divemaster on the street, because she was working with his mother in Switzerland. Alex and Hemma were involved in a battery discussion at the guesthouse next to the office the day before we left and Anders was supposed to travel down to Khao Lak when he saw us waiting to go the boat and decided more than spontaneous to join us!People from 6 different countries finally met on board and discovered Andaman's underwater world.
Everybody was waiting for Richelieu Rock, so we decided not only to make 3 dives there, we did all in all 5 dives around the famous rock including an amazing night. On the last day our timing was perfect!
Since we started at 5:30 in the morning, we were the first ones in the water and had our surface interval while all divers from the 10 other boats were down, to actually see almost more divers than fishes.
Some facts from this trip:
- 3 people lost their hair
- the word of the trip is definitely "Meeega"
- we spent incredible 604 minutes underwater
- we had one broken toe
- there were two nearly certified non-smokers with us
- it was the first time our chef miscalculated the amount of food --> no panic, nobody was starving, there is always a solution with AIDC, for nearly everything
The trip ended as special as it began: Anders showed us one more time how fast he is, in making decisions and jumped off the boat on Koh Payam with the rest of the group, even though he hasn't booked or planned anything ahead. But after a few phone calls and some brain work, everything was organized and now they are probably all lying on the beach and recall the past few days with interesting conversations, great dives and funny happenings on the boat.
See you soon friends, we enjoyed the time with you!
