Where to Dive Similan/Surins - Yacht Willow

[Tiptopperoo]

Hi guys!

I am heading to Thailand to do a live-aboard up to the Similans/Surins at the start of March 08.

I am looking at going with Yacht Willow, a small yacht. Does anyone know anything about this operation? Its captained by an Aussie bloke so it all seems good to me! Check out their site here Yacht Willow - Sailing and Yachting Adventures and tell me what you think.

Now they don't have set charters, and we can do a 10night 8day trip including the surins for 30000 baht. Having never been there before can anyone reccomend a bit of an itinerary taking in the best spots? Or is 10nights 8days too long to spend out that way?

Any help much appreciated!

Cheers
Dave

Sounds like a great price. Curious though, how do you do 10 nights and only eight days? What happens to the other day? Best of luck. The diving is amazing out there.

I looked at the site and it said 600 euro/day for charter of 4 adults. That seems much more expensive than you posted. Did you get a special deal? 50% off?

Hmm, I would dive Richelieu Rock for 6 full days and spend the rest of my time at Koh Bon and Koh Tachai!

How about Elephant Head Rock...I really liked that dive.
