Manta Queen 2 Trip 175. Setting out again with hope in our hearts on departure night we had flat seas all the way to Koh Bon Island in the muiddle of the Similan National Marine Park... Waking up on morning of day one we were greeted with a wonderful sunrise over the limestone island which is where we started our adventure. Koh Bon was lovely and lively under the water and the west ridge promised and delivered us Napoleon Wrasse and Sea snakes for all including the snorkellers to sea....Unpon hearing there was a giant in the area we decided to try our luck and spend another dive on the west ridge to see if the great spotted fish would make an appearance for us, but sadly no great shadows were seen over head. So with smiles and hope still intact we headed north to Koh Tahcai to dive our sunset dive on the the Dome where the octopus were out to play.... still more sea snakes.. After a beautiful dinner cooked by are amazing cook Mew, we took off even further up north to the Surin Narional Marine Park and slept the night under the stars with the gentle? rocking of the seas.... Morning of day two and the famous Richelieu Rock did not dissappoint with the trio of Tiger tail seashorse out for the photograpghers a like and even with a Pygmy pipehorse out and about which for most needed a closer look as some couldnt believe an animal could be that small. Upon closer inspection the wonders of the bright red moe hawk of the little treasure was an amazing photo opportunity... As the day plodded along and people were playing in the flat seas of the Andaman Sea we got ready for dive number 3 of the day. As most groups headed over to the north wall some were heading from the west to the north to check out the local frogfish and were greeeted afterwards with what we all so desperatley coveted. THE WHALESHARK!!!!!!!! So in the pristine waters around Richelieu Rock with 30m visibility all divers in the water got close encounters, cruising whaleshark at depth and also fly overs with the silouhette of the magnificent animal..... What a trip.. what a group of people!! enjoy your travels and see you soon for the next adventure on Manta Quieen 2!!!!!!!!#padi#padicourse#padiadvancedcourse#liveaboard#liveaboardthailand#safari#whaleshark#mantaray#padigopro#idc#dmt#divemaster#diveinstructor#mantaqueen#shark#sharks#divingkhaolak#similan#kohbon#kohtachai#richelieurock#boonsung#scuba#scubadiving#tauchen#dyken#thailandliveaboard
