Have just returned from Phuket (again!) and am suffering a little from Work Shock, so I thought its time to post some pictures.
All the diving both day and live-aboard was done with Sea Bees Diving, and all the sleeping was done with Palm Garden Resort and the live-aboard Marco Polo.
Started off with some day diving from Phuket and during a week visited most of the local sites, I was making and effort this trip to use my wide angle more but this is quite visibility dependant so of course ended up using a mix of Macro/Intermediate and a few Wide.
Around Phuket the visibility was the reverse of what it normally is, with the Eastern sites having better visibility then the southern ones. Still lots of nice things to see in the area, and as this was February there were large numbers of Ornate GPFs around.
Right, enough talk into the pictures
Seahorse - Anemone Reef
Reef Shark Point
GPFs Phi-Phi
Chromodoris geminus Phi-Phi
Crab (not sure which) Phi-Phi
Leopard Shark (with Macro Lens) Phi-Phi
Next was a 6 day trip out to the Similans and the northern sites, have to say Richelieu Rock is still my favourite.
More Pics!
The Boat Marco Polo
Mike Tour Leader with Private school of fish
Huby Tour Leader with Diver growing from his back (its strange what you miss when composing a picture)
General Scenery (Thanks to Mike for taking this, Im too lazy to walk up the hill)
The trip started in the North, and then worked its way South until return to Phuket on the last day. We were lucky with the weather and it was great all week.

Puffer Koh Bon
Lion Fish & Friends Koh Bon

Hope You Enjoyed them, I certainly enjoyed taking them.
