There were three of us in February (2 AWD, 1 instructor) and we did several diving days with ME Diving... Richelieu Rock was absolutely madness - millions of fish, breathtakingly beautiful!

I was looking for a dive center that would arrange for me to dive in Thailand... It was an unforgettable dive in the Similan Islands. The organization is beautiful, every detail is provided.

Our last day of diving was booked for a long boat... guide Freddie was knowledgable and friendly and couldn't have been any more helpful.
