Subject: Post: Yesterday evening and today morning we did two more dives on Similan islands, actually pretty boring ones. Strong currents and huge rocks, but not much marine life to be seen. One more dive left, and hopefully there is more to see. Although.. Maybe we already got used to too good after Richileu Rock and Koh Tachai, as even these dive sites here have way more life than most places in other countries. :)Yesterday evening we also had the traditional barbecue party on the boat, but we were way too tired and already went to sleep after 8pm while some people continued socialising much longer. In this bay there was not so much fish around the boat at night, but many sea snakes kept coming to breath at surface next to the boat before diving again. We also spotted something huge swimming past the boat.. Not sure what it was, but I guess a whale shark. Nothing else should be that size around here, the thing was at least five meters long if not much more. Tiger shark could be an another option as great whites are definitely not seen in this area, but they should also be very rare around here. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
