Back on a Similan Liveaboard – Hallelujah #5
After a stormy start to the new high season, with the choppy seas subsiding we departed on MV Hallelujah for trip number five. Just how choppy the seas had been around the Similan Islands, I wasn’t exactly sure, I’d just returned from a holiday
MV Hallelujah Trip #6 15-19 November 2017
The idea for this trip report, Hallelujah #106 came about from the feedback we get from guests on conclusion of each Similan liveaboard we run.
MV Hallelujah Trip #8 27 Nov – 1 Dec 2017
The weather looked nasty for this Similan liveaboard trip. Day three especially with 3-4m waves forecast for the Andaman Sea. Day three, the day we usually head up to Richelieu Rock and the area of sea most likely to be effected by bad weather.

It often comes as a surprise to some divers when, at some point during our Similan liveaboard trip I update my dive log book.
“Do you still log your dives?”, I am questioned.

Diving the Similans, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock this season there has been a very noticeable increase in productivity on many Simillan dive sites. Richelieu has its resident über mob of juvenile Giant trevallies and Longnose emperors. Koh Tachai, when the current pumps so do the Bluefin trevally and Rainbow runners.
All around the Similans there are more dog tooth tuna, snapper and other types of predatory fish. There are a few possible reasons why we are seeing more bigger fish on our dive sites. There is also a number of contenders in the running for top predator of 2018.
