the furthest dive sites!) way to travel ensuring a relaxed day. The guests can

eye out for real dolphins en route to the islands.
The Day
Khao Lak is conveniently located. Pick-up from the local resorts is complimentary. The boat
departs between 8:30 and 9:00. As you head out to Richelieu Rock you will
be introduced to the staff and your dive buddies (no more than 4 in a group). You will also be given a thorough briefing as to the
in's-and-out's of the dive site. The detailed briefings always
include safety procedures and site awareness (at Richelieu Rock it's
mandatory to have and USE a Surface Marker Buoy before ascending).
After a giant stride entry you will have the dive of a lifetime. The group
has lunch together during the surface interval on board. Repeat
