Thailand, Similan Islands diving MV Camic liveaboard 2021

Highlights of my dive trip to Thailand.
15 dives on MV Camic , Richelieu Rock was definitely best dive site we visited . It is a colourful reef teeming with life that will not disappoint you.

Did they pick you up from your hotel as part of the trip? If so what area? Still waiting on an answer from liveaboard people before booking a March trip

[@czele123]

Hi. Glad you like the video. Yes they did provide transportation both ways, we were in Phuket.

Hi! Loved your video! May I know which dive light were you using or would recommend?

[@czele123]

Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed the video. I use two lights on each side of my camera mount. Two generic non branded lights but they are powerful. Below is a link. Select 14 LEDs style, you can choose charger and batteries as well but the charger is very very slow and batteries do no have much capacity at this price range unfortunately. www.ebay.com/itm/364258850094 Much better batteries and charger from here www.18650batterystore.com/en-ca/products/panasonic-18650-protected www.amazon.ca/Intelligent-Universal-IMR，li-ion，LiFePO4，Ni-MH，Ni-Cd-rechargeable-batteries/dp/B01IBAFA64/ref=pd_lpo_sccl_2/140-1895807-1038802?pd_rd_w=0GtBx&content-id=amzn1.sym.bc8b374c-8130-4c45-bf24-4fcc0d96f4d6&pf_rd_p=bc8b374c-8130-4c45-bf24-4fcc0d96f4d6&pf_rd_r=YPZ7RZFJFF50CCNZM4PE&pd_rd_wg=c5ghc&pd_rd_r=a77cfa3f-682e-43ea-b9dc-388d139ddcc3&pd_rd_i=B01IBAFA64&psc=1

Amazing video and great places to dive 👏 😮

[@KCKFC1]

Also how deep is that? I’m from Thailand and it looks pretty free-divable

[@czele123]

@@KCKFC1 It is edited from 16 different dives so depth varies, maximum 30m but mostly 15-20m. All in marine park, not sure if free diving is allowed.

wow so beautiful Similan Island i really love Similan underwater. maybe next trip ,,,,,,,,

[@czele123]

Thank you for watching. Yes, really beautiful

[@katharina3823]

Amazing video! Thinking of going to Similan ende of this year..how are conditions in Dec?

[@czele123]

Thanks 😊, glad you like it. Conditions were great, calm seas, good visibility. No manta, no whale sharks🙁.

[@notroublesjustbubbles2307]

Have you booked your trip yet?

[@SRSR-pc8ti]

For Manta and Whalesharks, March and April best. Head to Koh Bon just north of the Sims.

[@vivianzhang8469]

Beautiful footage! What other cameras do you recommend?

[@czele123]

Thank you for watching. As far as camera - I do like and recommend Lumix GH5 or 6 . Depends on what you want to film, for macro and close ups, Olympus TG 5 delivers great results. Many cameras can deliver great results but key is lighting so LED light is a must for colours.

[@thomaseigensatz6161]

Yeah, looking forward to my Thailand Holiday, probably with a few days on Similan..looks quite amazing. There was a nice "bubble-ring" shooting scene at abou 4:50... How were the rings made and shoot?

[@czele123]

Good for you, enjoy! If you can, include Richelieu rock dive site on your itinerary it is an outstanding dive. The DM brought that bubble ring gun, it was connected to his low pressure hose by BCD inflator I think. Then shot like a gun. Quite heavy unit. Have fun!

[@davidmartinez87]

Nice Video! Looking to visit this paradise next Octber, is it open?

[@czele123]

Thanks for watching. Looks like dive season is late October to early May. Enjoy!

[@congdeng6125]

amazing video, what device you used to record?

[@czele123]

Thank you. I use Panasonic GH5 camera with powerful lights and some post editing

[@kimberlimoore463]

Wow!!! Fantastic video- the color quality is amazing! I’m headed to Thailand next March and can’t wait for my live aboard adventure.

[@czele123]

Thanks for your comment! Yes, very colourful reefs and fish some places. Hope you visit Richelieu rock, it never disappoints. Have fun and bring powerful light if you want to see true colours below! Happy diving!

Hi, how do you dive in similan island? Is there any dive agency?

[@czele123]

Hi. I used Liveaboard.com to book my trip. There are other agencies such Notroublesjustbubbles.com, or Google search for liveaboards.

[@yonasarahpardede2165]

@@czele123 thank you. Amazing dive view 👌🏻

[@Andy-l4j8r]

Great video! Apart from the wreck at the end, what proportion of the video footage roughly do you think comes from Richelieu?

[@czele123]

Thanks for watching. Hmm, I would say many shots before the wreck dive are from Richelieu, when you see purple coral or Nemo nests that is Richelieu. Beautiful place, they removed it from top 10 in the world but in my opinion it is one of top 5😀🐟.

很美❤

[@czele123]

Thank you.

[@plamiification]

Amaizing video !!! But 3-4 dives a day isn't it a little bit too exhausting ? That's the only thing that i'm afraid of because after 2 dive we're usually really down

[@czele123]

Thanks for your comment 😊. Do you usually dive from a Liveaboard? I find Liveaboards so convenient and well set up for 3/4 even 5 dives a day. Usually the excitement of each dive gives me energy and motivation to keep on diving, once I establish routine it seems easy when conditions are good 😊 🐟.

[@noiseless2]

Wow , what a beautiful video . The colors are insane . Your filming skills are awesome keep up !

[@czele123]

Thanks so much for watching and positive comment! Yes, it’s a colourful world down there, I am glad I can share it with you.

Very Nice Video :) thanks for sharing. i m looking at this exact same boat, begining of November this year, any idea if it a good time to go diving there?

[@czele123]

Thank you for your comment, I am glad you liked it. Camic is OK boat although I noticed kitchen had good cockroach infestation 😳. Crew and dive guides were Thai . Not 100% on November weather but we travelled early December and had great visibility and calm waters.
