Dive trip to Similan and Surin (Part I)

Day 1 was spent at Patong Beach with Ching Hui (fellow KentRidgean..hehe...small world huh?) Nothing much...but somehow we managed to kill half a day there...


One of the many signs we saw directing u towards the evacuation route in case a tsunami approach



Top: Patong Beach in the morning when we arrived...totally empty
Bottom: Patong Beach in the afternoon...big difference huh?


Parasailing


Couldn't resist taking a photo of the pharmacy...occupational hazard :P

At night we boarded the White Manta...at least an hour late due to delay refueling the boat...


The White Manta...is someone trying to jump off the boat??!!


Our room...San San, Chantel, Ching Hui and I stayed in one room...


The common areas
Top: Sundeck and TV room
Bottom: Where we prepare for our dive, staircase leads up to the dining area...and the bow of the boat...that's the view from our room!! :D



Dining area and where we have our dive briefing
Bottom: Hmm...where there's food there's Reef? He's caught red-handed stealing some food!!



Washroom...quite nice hor...u can actually lose control sliding ard inside when u r showering and the floor is all soapy and the boat is rocking with the strong wave!! Haha


Kitchen...where our yummy food is prepared...too bad nobody ever rem to whip out their camera when food is served :P

Photos from our dive briefing...our DM, Nick is quite an artist...
