Koh Lanta’s only Liveaboard dive operator now offers even more diving trips to the Similan Islands with their new schedule being announced for 2010 and 2011 season.

The M/V Flying Seahorse Koh Lanta liveaboard

Boarding the Mv Flying Seahorse on Koh Lanta or fom Koh Phi Phi on the 5 D / 4 N adventure to the Similan Islands has a great advantage as it also lets you enjoy some of the best dive sites the Andaman Sea has to offer like Koh Phi Phi, Shark Point or the King Cruiser Ship Wreck.

How ever for the real enthusiastic diver who wants to really explore the best Thailand has to offer another option is the amazing 7 D / 6 N trip which also takes in the South of Thailand’s dive sites first by visiting Koh Ha and also Hin Daeng and Hin Muang and then onto the Similans.

The dive season is from October till the End of April. I joined the Mv Flying Seahorse on a 5 D / 4 N trip in April and below are a few pictures I took on this trip.

The Similan Islands are well known for there crystal warm clear waters, and amazing array of marine life and also for there topography both underwater and above. You can dive past rocks which are as big as a home, float past a garden of some of the finest soft and hard corals and go in search of small unique critters like Nudibranch and Ghostpipe Fish or enjoy diving with the magical and graceful Manta Rays or if your really lucky maybe even a Whale Shark.
