Took a three hours ride from Dive Shop to port. Got assigned a room next to the kitchen therefore got several roaches on the bed on several nights. Engine is right below our cabin, fortunately, we got some ear-plugs from Boots. Air-con went-off in the middle of one night, came back up later. Food was okay. Dive was beyond expectation. 2 – 3 mantas at the last diving day. One of the mantas has a rope across it’s face, very sad. A whale shark about 18 feet. Got chased away by another group of divers. One of them even try to touch the beauty with his bare hands, wanted to kill him right away. Dive guides were okay. Not particularly attentive to divers. Did exactly what a dive guide does… take divers out there and bring them back. And that’s all. Saw around a shool of dolpins when boat was returning to port. Would definitely return to Simalaan Islands, but not the same boat. |
