3 days 20.1.-23.1.2011 Surin, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock
The trip promised to be interesting even before it started. When we scheduled it to the 20.1.2011 we had 4 customers for sure and suddenly more were showing up from everywhere.
Andreas and Babett already had their luggage in the bus and the ticket in their hands to go to Koraburi and from there take a ferry over to Surin. But Andreas wanted to do some diving so they decided to join us at least for the first day, and then probably jump off to Surin and do some Island days.
We were all pretty sure, this will not happen...and....well if you really think I tell you every time after the trip all the details, describe how good the dives have been and what funny things happened beside the water activities....you are wrong!
If you wanna have such a good time, don't waste an other second with reading this blog, go on the booking page and safe your spot on the next trip. I promise you, you will never regret this decision.
Ok, I can give you a few stories, but I will never tell you if Andreas and Babett left the boat or not :-)
The dives around Koh Bon and Koh Tachai - unfortunately without our big friends the mantas - were extremely relaxed. The underwater scenery, the visibility and the fact that there was almost no current lead to 3 very nice dives. In the evening on the second day we had to choose where we will do the night dive....thanks for Christoph we decided, the first time ever, to go down on Koh Tachai Pinnacle. There was already a boat fixed on the buoy over the rock when we approached the place. No problem, we jumped off the boat, were swimming to the buoy to go down the line and this is the moment I will remember for a long time: the impression on the faces of all the divers from the other boat! "What are they doing!?!" We were having an incredible good night dive at a great site. And by the time we came up there was smoke in the kitchen :-) Preben was about to make the BBQ ready and this was probably the second time they were wondering on the other boat....this is how it works with AIDC, we are different in any way. In any good way.
Spending as usual the last day for 3 dives at Richelieu, we discovered a second seahorse and had a chat with the ghostpipefishes. Thanks god we started at 06:17, like this we were alone and could enjoy every moment.
If you are on a liveaboard, it doesn't matter how many people, doesn't matter from where they come from, it is an intense time. You spend the entire day together, every meal, every beer, every coffee. Most of the time you meet interesting, funny and nice people. You have a good chat about this and that, sometimes there are even friendships growing after the trip.
We try to make every trip a unique experience for every of our customers.
We are already looking forward to the next trip!
