Airport Waiting

 The trip from Phuket to KL is pretty short, though it always takes a while to wait at the airport, boarding, getting luggage and then the trip back home. 

 

Morning at The Beach

 To ensure our interval time between our last dive and flying, we got to spend much of Friday morning at the beach before heading back to the airport.  Pretty amazing place - and our favorite location was very kind to allow a late checkout. 

 

 

Back on Dry Ground

 What an amazing trip - and a bit weird to be back on solid ground after three days on the boat.  It was certainly a great experience - and so so grateful to be able to share it with Rania. 

Wonderful to be reunited with one of our favorite places, enjoying the spectacular sunsets, the light house and time together relaxing. 

 

Diving - December 2024 - Thailand

Another quick video, thanks to Mike. We didn't have great visibility for our dives on this day, though still so much to see.

Diving - Richelieu Rock - Thailand - December 2024

Thanks to Mike, who had an Osmo, we got some nice footage from underwater. We didn't have great visibility for our dive, though there was so much life within just a few meters, that it was hard to miss great things.

Turtle - Diving Similan Islands Dec 2024

Thanks to Mike, who had an Osmo, we got some nice footage from underwater. We cannot, however, figure out why it jumps to slow motion for the vast majority of the export. Some nice diving experiences as part of a short, three-day liveaboard.

Sunset View - Similan Island Liveaboard - December 2024

Here was a wonderful view of the sunset as we headed north toward Richelieu Rock. So beautiful - and so expansive!

Sunset Day 2

 There was a pretty spectacular sunset as we got out of our fourth and final dive of the day.  We then started heading north toward Richelieu Rock, where we will be doing our diving tomorrow. 

 

After a nice start, we hit some rough seas for a couple of hours before getting into a more sheltered area.  Tomorrow (our final day), we will be diving at Richelieu Rock, which is an outcropping in the middle of the sea that just barely (depending on the tide) gets above the sea level - so there isn't much shelter. 

 The sea sickness medicine sure helped, and I couldn't go to bed until we were in the shelter of an island and there wasn't so much significant rocking.  Getting sea legs sure is a bit more challenging than I thought, especially when it is even a just a little bit rough.
