Find a Dive Center
I would like to dive with…
Dive Report on Phuket, Thailand
Debbie Woods
3000+ dives
Liveaboard and more
I joined on a liveaboard as a customer which was very novel for me. Having worked in the industry for many years I am usually the guide and taking care of others, not really diving for myself.
So at the end of one season I decided to take a trip with Scuba Cat on board MV Scuba Adventure.
The boat only carries 12 people so that was great in terms of being flexible with dive schedules, and dive sites were tailored to the divers on board, which was great.
I have dived the Similans, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu many times over the last 11 years, and as always they were great.
Harlequin shrimps in their pairs with juveniles were one of the highlights, along with Manta's at 3 places, white tip reef sharks, sea-horses, ghost pipe fish, and many different varieties of Nudibranchs and shrimps.
I love macro stuff and with this dive center has the time to go slowly and find things.

Excellent macro shots! Is the 4th one an ornate pipefish?
Scuba Cat Diving
Ornate Ghost Pipe fish, seen quite a lot around the dive sites here, Richeleiu, Similans, Shark Point, Koh Doc Mai, Phi Phi and many more. They can be different colours depending on where they are as they try to camouflage themselves as corals.
