Koh Phi Phi Ley (Phisini, day 4)

Another early rising and a beautiful start to the day. While we had a light breakfast and dive briefing, the captain motored us a short distance across to Koh Bida Nok for our first two dives.

The first dive brought us to a roped off, shallow, sheltered bay. Despite the evidence of lots of tourism, the area was bustling with sea life. We had beaten the crowds, so the dive was quite peaceful. In the bay we saw a couple Blacktip reef sharks (or maybe the same shark twice? 🦈🙃) in the upper shallows. As we went deeper an awe inspiring sight of a multitude of fish schools weaving about like a delicate ribbon in the breeze. The second dive was much busier with many boats in the area, we stayed to the deeper area with soft coral encrusted rock walls to enjoy. The air is around 34C with high humidity, water is about 28C and feels like a bathtub🛁 until the occasional cooler current sneaks past giving a momentary shiver 😅

We returned to Koh Phi Phi Lee Island, near Malong Bay where we prepared for the afternoon and evening dives.

We are enjoying the multicultural passengers,each with their own personalities but thankfully none of them overbearing 👍. The crew are doing an amazing job keeping up with everything. The kitchen keeps producing lots of delicious food 😋. This isn't a weight loss vessel!Читать далее
