Similan Islands and others on a Liveaboard

Sorry Quero hun - but no this is NOT my company unfortunately!

I must say I had the same feeling after reading your posts. So not your company, but do you work there?

Regarding Sea Bees, this is a good op with a good reputation. But the divers on their liveaboards are overwhelmingly German speakers, so socially it can get a little lonely on a SeaBees boat for anybody who doesn't speak German. For that reason, I don't generally recommend them to my non-German/Swiss/Austrian/etc. customer. SeaBees daytrip boats have more non-Germans, and it's only one day, so it's a different sort of situation than for a liveaboard.

Thanks Quero I always appreciate your insight. I am booked with Sea Bees on a 'back to back' liveaboard this Nov, 2011 to the Surin & Similans. Guess I'll take a book along, even behave and read up on some PADI manuals

Not sure this is part of this particular thread, but I am passing through from India to HK and have a week open in Feb 2012, where do you suggest I go? Bali, South Siam? Thanks! Finbob

You might have luck on your side on your SeaBees trips and be on ones that aren't as "German." I'll think positive thoughts for you!

As for February--if you want Indonesia, maybe Lembeh would fit the bill. If you want Thailand and don't want to go north again, you could go south, yes, to Hin Daeng, Koh Haa, etc. from Lanta, or maybe Koh Lipe?

Better make that SSI on a Sea Bees boat
