I've done liveaboards for days in the Similans, I pray that the dive masters that sometimes spend weeks out there at a time are OK, I got to know a few from repeat trips.

I didn't spend much time on Phi Phi, but have dove all around the islands, its a special place.

There is (was) a great drop off reef may be 15-25 yards off of Phi Phi. Visibility fab. Unfortunately, there was this huge (6-8 ft) black tip that swam by. Didn't think much about it until I was about 100 yds off shore. Then out of nowhere black tips including Grandpa surrounded me. They kept circling me. The only time I was uncomfortable with sharks was with those blacktips. As I was swimming ashore a little two footer snapped at my fin. But the reef was beautiful. Just need to lure Grandpa and his friends away.

I must do the Similans. I hope you hear from your dive masters. Which one live aboard did you dive with?
