At the start of this trip I posted a photo of all of our customer’s cameras on our Facebook page. There were a lot! The caption read:
‘’If we don’t get some good photos on this trip, we are definitely doing something wrong’’
Living the Dream?
“You are so lucky. You have the dream job!” is something that we are often told. And when we hear it normally we try to explain that is not as dreamy as it looks like: “ok, is great to wear shorts, t-shirts and flip flops all year around, and is really cool to wake up ...
Manta Encounter On The First Dive

Similans Secrets
This week we had a lot of fun.
Conditions were as good as they have been all season. 30m visibility almost everywhere, calm flat seas and generally no strong currents (obviously not including Koh Tachai, woohoo what a dive that was).

What do kids want for their sixteenth birthday nowadays?
Probably very different things that what my generation wanted when we got to that age; the age when you think that you are already an adult… but, well… Some items are probably still the same: motorbike, car,… the tools that should give you freedom.

Knock-knock. “Good morning!!”, and a weak and sleepy “good morning” answers from inside the room number 8. Ok, Alex and Agatha are awaken. Let’s check…room 1…Ok, Kim and Keunyong, 2 of the korean divemasters; knock-knock. “Ileona!!!”, no answer, “Ileona!!”, that means “Wake up!” in korean, maybe doesn’t sound very polite taking into account that we are waking up the guests in our boat, but it was impossible for me to remember the good morning in korean, so the guys gave us this other option, much easier to remember (although probably I’m spelling it completely wrong); some noise comes from inside the room; good.
First Similan Liveaboard of 2015 – 2016
This is the first time Big Blue Diving Khao Lak has ever dived in October. We should definitely do it more often too. It was brilliant!
