My first Live-On-Board, spending 4 days and 4 night with complete strangers as if they were the best buddies. We were completely diverse but there was at least one thing common, our passion for diving. Each one, whether young or old, novice or experienced talked about the diving with same enthusiasm. Cheers to the team. Dived with : ScubaDivingPhuket, the pickup was arranged at the hotel in Patong, Phuket. We were transferred by road to Khao Lak. And the Live on Board begins there.  Dive Sites: Similan Islands (numerous dive sites) , Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock (Bad weather prohibited our dive there), Some wrecks near Khao Lak (Visibility not so great) Dive Experience: Currents are strong at few dive sites, so some experience and good buoyancy control will make dives enjoyable.  Budget: There are Live On Board starting from 3 Days (10 dives), price starting ~15000 THB (2013). I did 4 days one and paid 22900 THB (2013) for dual accommodation. There are cheaper
