Similan Islands - Day 1 - Dives 3 + 4


2 more cool dives to finish the day

Dive 3 - Turtle Rock, Similan #8

After a nice lunch, we plumb the depths again for more aquatic fun, this time I get to see the backside of a turtle as it swims off - not a great first view but at least I can say I have seen one. After the dive the local turtle called Trevor swims up around the people getting out of the water and he gets some pieces of banana thrown to him. He is absolutely huge but still is quite graceful.

Dive 4 - Night Dive, Waterfall Bay, Similan #8

Quite nice to do another night dive, although I seemed to be swimming through little jelly fish so my arms were stinging a lot of the time. Saw some cuttlefish which are cool and a funky stripey starfish.

Absolutely knackered and hungry - have dinner and then head to bed at 10, got to be up at 6 for the next mornings dives.
