Tawny Nurse Shark – Big Rocks
Another great days diving today! Congratulations to Arne and Mai, from Germany, who completed their PADI Open Water Diver Courses today! The fun divers (team Finland) also had some great dives. We found porcelain crabs on Koph Yang, as well as some frightfully large Titan triggerfish. We had a delicous lunch on the beach at Koh Adang where Nu, our Captain, managed to find a seahorse without even getting in the water. He spotted a small black one just... Read More
Swimming with Dolphins!!!
Today we have been lucky enough to experience one of those chance encounters you never forget. On the way to our first dive, an Advanced Peak Performance Bouyancy training dive at Koh Talang we sited a pod of 12 dolphins. We all jumped in (of course!) and were able to snorkel with them for a short time. It was so inspiring to see them underwater that we followed the pod and were able to twice more enjoy their company, watching the calves dive in and... Read More
Fishing with Helmut

We´re often asked what a certain fish is, sometimes one which we see everyday, but overlook in favour of their more colourful relatives. We´ve... Read More
Night Dive on Stonehenge
After such great diving on Stonehenge by day we decided to visit again for a night dive. As we hoped it was a great dive, we found a huge variety of marine life active at night; decorator crabs scurrying around, encrusted in coral and algae, anemone crabs carrying whole anemones on their shells! Tiny tiny shrimps, so easy to find – their eyes reflecting in the lights, sea cucumbers in all shapes and sizes. Many of the diurnal fish we found... Read More
Stonehenge
Following the half moon this month, and the gentle currents that come with the neap tides, we’ve been enjoying some great diving on Stonehenge, one our favourite dive sites. The diving there has been so good we even dived there 3 times in one day! We’ve been finding Tigertail seahorses, Stonefish, various colourful nudibranchs, schools of chevron barracudas and, as always, the beautiful soft corals covering the granite pinnacles. Read More
