7 days / 7 nights around Surin, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock
8 Swiss and 1 Danish on board of MV ThaiSea promised to be an interesting week and a lot of fun.
Some of the girls haven't been diving for quite some time, so they took it easy and slowly with their divemaster, exploring some spots around the islands, where the others went for the current and the pinnacles.
But once the girls were back on track and could finally see what s going on around them – 40 batfishes on one spot, funny looking nudibranches like the Sea Hare, hunting Jackfish bigger than anything we have seen before, friendly Napoleons, the very sick looking Barracuda, still sleeping Seahorses, giant grouper and so on – and I have to say (not only because I was their divemaster) they made a huge step from the beginning of the trip until the end!! I am very proud and happy, well done „chicken run“!
Beside the 27 dives we had a lot of time to do other things, but most of us – or do I have to say most of the boys – were „litnoi“ addicted to a game called angry birds on Tabos Ipad.....but the real Angry Bird on the boat was once again Gaeo, the parrot.
Of course we went to the beach, did some snorkelling, played other games (real social ones) had some drinks in the evening, discussed world problems without solving them or simply enjoyed the beauty of nature on the sea.
At the end, all divers had around 8 dives only at Richelieu and therefore it was no problem to let them dive alone on the very last dive. Like this the divecrew – Preben, Mischa and Carmen - could make their last dive together just on their own. Last dive, maybe not for Preben this season, but for sure for Mischa and Carmen, they are off to the Philippines for a new adventure.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for a great season:
• all our guests and friends joining us on the trips
• the most fantastic crew on the world, Pong, M, Tui and our Captain
• Preben
Maybe again next season?! You never know, take care.
Carmen and Mischa
