Hey there, if anyone has been in Phuket lately and done Richelieu Rock, Koh Bon and Koh Tachai, can you please let me know how it was? I am debating a 3 day liveaboard for mid Nov. I keep seeing comments that the diving is great there but when I look at posted videos the coral looks pretty bare and beat up. I don't know if this is just the natural state of the area. I have only ever done Belize, the Atolls and Roatan before and am used to seeing the more vibrant corals of that reef. Are the Similans just different or is something wrong there? And has anyone seen Mantas at Reichelieu or Koh Bon lately? Thanks in advance!
