Look like it.
Maybe it's my age but I don't dive for adrenaline rushes anymore...just the opposite actually...to relax and maybe see a few interesting things. In fact, my fav diving is muck diving and there isn't much adreline in that, unless you step on a stonefish. I've done the similans liveaboard thing a couple times and the diving can be very good (much better than the local Phuket day-dive sites). However, you pay a premium and I've been there done that and I really don't fancy sleeping on a bobbing ship again for up to a week. I much prefer going out for the day and coming home and eating at a nice resto and sleeping in a comfortable (non-rocking) bed. I've never dived Ko Lanta area...there is a boat doing a 4 nite liveaboard next month to that area. Bali and the Philippines are my fav places to dive...so much variety. Of course Sipidan/Mabul is tops too.
