Freediving in the Similan Islands

 
 
 
 
 
   

This is a short visual account of a diving trip to the Similans and other islands further north, in the Andaman Sea off the west coast of Thailand. The trip took place in April 2009. It wasn't my first one to the islands, but it was the first one where I could collect underwater pictures taken by fellow divers, whom I thank warmly.I am glad to have shared diving and special moments with Abi, Hisao, Natsuko, and especially Tomoko: the best and easiest-to-follow dive master ever! My point of view is a little different, because you see: I am a freediver. I dive without tank, of course for much shorter times, but with much more freedom and quite a different approach to the marine life. And marine life too approaches me quite differently than the scuba divers.
