Scuba Diving Thailand - Similan Islands Liveaboard on Deep Andaman Queen Part 1

[@dorothyyeo6575]

Hi. May I know which month were you diving in the similians when you took this video?

[@StephAndBurim]

Definitely! It was early January.

What was the max depth and ave dice time? Anything interesting for macro enthusiast?

[@StephAndBurim]

Hi there! Most of each day's first dive (deepest) is around 25-28 metres with an average depth of around 16-18 metres. Then after the first dive, most days we were doing around 12 - 22 metres. I'd say the whole trip is about 60% wide angle, big stuff (giant trevally, Morey eels, sea turtles, black tips, etc.) and around 40% macro. Obviously this is all depending on the dive sites (and weather), but we did have a few night dives with some cool macro stuff. And there were a few dive sites that I saw some pipefish, a lot of nudibranch and flat worms (especially around Richelieu Rock, Koh Bon and Boonsung Wreck).

hello，Is the visibility of seawater unrelated to the new moon and full moon while diving in Similan?

[@StephAndBurim]

It's definitely related. You can see in some of the clips that viz wasn't so great. That's because the moon face was changing and current was getting stronger. Similan Island is in the middle Andaman Sea and is fairly unprotected from ocean swells and currents.

How many dives did you do in a day? Have you been to Raja Ampat?

[@StephAndBurim]

Mostly 3-4 dives a day on the Deep Andaman Queen liveaboard. And yes we have been to Raja Ampat. We did a 10 day liveaboard trip on Epica from Scuba Republic. Amazing place! 😊
