These guys are awesome. All of the guides know all of the dive sites like the backs of their hands. The combination of laid back attitudes with extreme profesionalism that they exibit is rare. What a difference from the week I had with expedition fleet.
Conditions were between mediocre and bad at most of the dive sites, but these guys are so good that it didn't matter much. My guide, Gerald, seemed to be using ESP to find small critters. He would dart off right at a beautiful nudi that was beyond my visability. His knowlege of marine biology was also quite impressive.
We saw frog fish, mantas, leopard sharks, white tips, about 20 varieties of nudibranch, tons of octopi, turtles, and all kinds of little crustacians that I can't remember the names.
The food on the boat is top notch. If you're going to Similan, it would be tough to beat these guys.
The only complaint I have is there are too many boats in the Similans. When we were at rechilou rock, there were 12 other liveaboards there. What a mess.
