There were all the Whalesharks, simply too many to count.
The Mantas, that came early this year to Koh Bon, and stayed late.
The little stuff was out all season in full force, from the smallest Clown Frogfish and baby Harlequin Shrimp, to the very special Cockatoo Waspfish.
We had Leaf Scorpionfish, Marble Snake Eels, and so many cute little Seamoths this season.
More sharks this year than usual too. Black Tips, White Tips, Nurse Sharks, and even a few Giant Guitarfish.
Huge Rays - Mangrove Whiprays, Jenkins Whiprays and many Bloched Fantail Rays seemingly covered the reefs.

we have had guests from all over the globe this season, and introduced them to the Similan Islands in what has been the best diving season here in many, many years.
The diving stayed great right up until the end. On the final day at Richelieu Rock this season, we had a curious Whaleshark approach a few groups and lazily swim around in circles for ten minutes or so.
This was the first Whaleshark of the season for a few of the lucky office staff that were able to make it on the trip, and Pam was especially excited. For the next few days we all had to listen to Pam scream "Willy the Whaleshark" every two minutes with a huge smile on her face. It was cute for the first few hours...
As we all know though, all good things must come to an end. And so it is, that this season in the Similan Islands is now over. What a year it was. We can only hope that when the next season begins again in late October that it will pick up right where this one has left off. Everyone here is looking forward to completing the circle, from this season, into the next...
With so many fun times and new friends made, and so much life that we have discovered beneath the waves this season, it's going to be difficult to wait.
A very special thank you goes out to all of our guests, friends, families and staff from Mr. Oh the owner, Stefan the general Manager, Toun the Assistant Manager and Pam the Head of the Training department for another wonderful Season in the Similan Islands. Thank you all so much. We couldn't have done it without you!
