Just my small input
For the Similans, Surins We used Wicked Diving, and found them to be great - very Eco minded and safe. in fact we went back 6 weeks later and let them take our two boys (12 & 14) on a DSD - Thats how good they were and how much we trusted them
The diving - for us it was just okay Bear in mind we have the Musandam on our doorstep which s crammed full of life. I read the report posted earlier and recognised all the sites. I can't say it was bad as we extended our stay - I'd rate it as just okay.
Likewise the Philippines I've only dived on a boat leaving Cebo - around malapascua. All muck diving. Again after a few days it all became the same, But my friends rave about the northern sites so maybe we'll try that one day.
If in Bali try Villa Alba, it's run by a good Friend and his wife who are used to BPW and rebreathers etc.
Komodo - My wife dived with Wicked Diving and had a Ball we want to go back. On the wicked front they do a 3 week safari from Raja Ampat to Komodo which is meant to be fantastic - we just cant get the time as yet...
