Hi Fiona,
Thanks for all the arrangment and if you're looking for some comments, I have some for you:-
a) The transport and hotel arrangement was fine, except that the parties in Similan made the mistake in arranging a double bed for us. Both in the boat and the hotel, but they managed to fix it.
b) The boat was quite spacious and food on the boat was good. Lots of fruits and good supply of meals and drinks to keep us cool or warm. The boat staff and crew were all very friendly and helpful.
d) The dive sites were not as spectacular as we had imagined. Perhaps we were not that lucky enough! But the underwater landscape was quite different and worth visiting.
e) One little minor point that could be improved is that if training and leisure dive can be separated into different groups. Also, it will be good if dive leaders can avoid taking pictures for their profit making CDs. Divers can then receive more attention.
f) The half day at Patong was good because we had a chance to get to tour around and get to know the place apart from diving.
In summary, I am satisfied with the trip and have enjoyed trip.
I will try to post some pictures on your website later.
Thanks again,
Angie
