Similan islands liveaboard diving with Khao Lak Scuba Adventures | EP69 

Hi guys whats the name of the diving centre ? Thank u

Yes definitely make sure whichever one you pick includes Richelieu Rock, the Manta Queen boats are great - pretty basic (actually they've been renovating some of them since we filmed this, so maybe less basic) but for the money, it was the best week ever!

it's such a cool place!

Really is a great spot!

Susan Fraser I’m there... just behind the camera lens instead of in front of it! Alex hates diving with a camera - there is at least one clip of me though!

From BFD: we saw Gem catching the drone

D Ting - it was an amazing experience, great fun and some of our favourite diving. Accommodation - it’s a liveaboard, and manta queen boats are definitely quite basic, it’s a working dive boat rather than a cruise (if you want the very best boat/accommodation I’d check out scubaspa in Maldives). What it lacks in luxury in more than makes up for in fun with great guides and tons of other divers. Food is good but basic fare and there’s always a good selection but it’s not a fine dining experience ;) in terms of diving, there isn’t the current of Komodo, or quite the variety of dive conditions and sites but there are some magical dives especially Richelieu rock - that really is right up as one of the most spectacular sites we’ve done anywhere the quantity and variety of marine life is out of this world, even a chance for Mantas and whale sharks on the same dive as sea horses and giant schools of fish blocking out the sun. Similan Islands are great and Khao Lak Scuba Adventures are hugely fun operation to dive with but you won’t get all the luxury escape feeling like Komodo. Rental gear is also great. We have heard that they are in process refurbishing boats too. For us it’s on our short list for DM due to the number of clients and courses they also run, but my front runner is by far Scuba Junkie Komodo - love that place ;)

GlobalSwans super helpful!
