My second liveaboard was in the Similan Island in Thailand.
The national park is located in front of Khao Lak in the Andaman Sea.
The archipelago is composed of nine island each one has a number as well as a name.
There is not regular boat service, so you need a liveaboard to go in this interesting dive area.
For me it was a special week. I got the dive number 100 and I increased my knowledge in diving.
I booked the trip in a very nice wood boat; it was not confortable to dive but very comfy for sailing. Wicked diving (www.wickeddiving.com) was the name of the company, very professional, great staff.
So many dive site around each island, 3/4 dives a day I enjoyed a lot.
