Recent Phi Phi Trips

The last few overnight trips to Phi Phi have been really good. The visibility around Bida Nok and Bida Nai was around 20m, lots of black tip reef sharks, turtles, some huge schools of barracuda as well as some great macro life - seahorses, ornate ghost pipefish, and nudibrancs. We haven't seen a lot of leopard sharks recently, but I have been told that it is their breeding season and they like to do this in private without us divers looking on! Hopefully they will make a return to the reef soon :) This picture is one member of a family of three bendstick pipefish at Bida Nok.

Singapore American School Phi Phi Trip

During Chinese New Year, we had our annual visit from the Singapore American School kids. Every year they come to Phuket to complete their open water course. One of their teachers, PADI Course Director William Ong, finished their academics and confined sessions in Singapore so we just had the fun part of the open water dives :) There were 12 kids in total and we went on a 3 day trip to Phi Phi. We saw lots of turtles, leopard sharks, black tip reef sharks and of course all the kids wanted to 'find nemo'! Congratulations to all on passing the open water course.



Also a big congratulations to Clinton who recently passed his Divemaster course with flying colours! Here's Clinton after conducting a confined Discover Scuba Diving program with our Driver, Boon.
