What is the diving like at the Similans now?

Divers are always saying stuff to me like, "I'm going on a liveaboard next week, what's the diving like at the moment?"

To see what the Similan's is like right now have a look on the Junk's facebook page. Guests from last week's trip are busy posting their photos and there is some pretty impressive stuff including two whalesharks.

Keith, the long time Junk tourleader commented,

"Came back from the second junk trip of the season at the weekend and what a trip. Great guests, 2 whalesharks, leopard sharks, black-tips, white-tips, turtles, seahorses, ghost pipefish and lots more. If this is anything like the season is going to go it is going to be another great one!"

The Junk is not the only boat seeing cool stuff at the moment. Guests on MV Vilai Samut snorkeled with Brydes whales this week!

Manta Rays at Koh Bon

Reports are coming in that everyone is seeing Manta Rays at Koh Bon. The video below is from the Junk.

There are also reports of Whale Sharks at Koh Tachai but I haven't got any photographic evidence of that yet. It's lucky to see whalesharks this early in the season, I hope they hang around.
