At 09:00... the Oceana is waiting and ready to go.
To the diver's delight, everything is set, the equipment has already been taken to the boat, the tanks are filled and standing in line.


Slowly the Oceana cruises out of magnificent Ton Sai Bay, along the rough limestone cliffs, leaving the longtail boats & route-cruisers behind. The water is clear, thousands of fishe swim around the boat to their hearts content, peace of mind & high expectation mingles in everybodys head as the Oceana approaches the first dive site, only 30 min's from the jetty.

Everybody in the water ! .......................
After the Divemaster has given his boat briefing, everybody knows what to expect, we are set and ready to go. Concentration prevails. O.K.Thumbs down - this is it, the big fish are waiting! Already the first glance under the surface foretells a great adventure, there are fish everywhere and radiant corals cling to every surface - rocks, boulders and cliffs, even on a snorkel-basis one would have enough to do just to sort out the many things going on at once.


Further down, Christmas-tree worms unfold their fascinating flower-like beauty, large boulders, balanced on top of each other, form intriguing swim throughs and finally, as the eyes gets used to the overwhelming surroundings, the biggies and the carnivores make themselves seen, moray eels protrude from the rocks!

The Divemaster knows exactly where to go, what to do and points out the wonders, hidden scorpionfish, shy lobsters and camouflaged giant oysters.
Before one even notices, time is up and it's back to the surface and into the boat, the Captain, who has followed the trail of our bubbles has brought the boat to the exact spot. No need for swim backs !.

The atmosphere is different now...
Everybody has a story to tell, what they saw, what the creature did and how serene it felt to be in the midst of planet earth's beautiful marine world. A few minutes later the Oceana moors in one of Phi Phi's many superb bays, we do not cast anchor, as we want to preserve the corals !I It'slunchtime, the crew serve a delicious lunch and a nice desert of assorted tropical fruits, the divers are relaxing, enjoying the sun, some take a swim to the beach to snorkel a bit.
One more dive is awaiting! Oceana's engine springs to life again, the captain takes us on further to the next dive destination, this time there's a reef to explore, with all its inhabitants and guests.
There's no need to dive deep - the stars will soon be on the stage!

Leopard sharks ! It is really a breathtaking experience to watch the large animals in their own element. Lucky, that they are vegetarians..! Lots of time to take pictures - to supplement the ones carried home in the mind. It is not easy to follow the divemaster's instructions about not touching these animals - but of course, no responsible diver would do that, time flies - we have to go back.
Back on board, the divers sit silent for a while - it takes some time to digest the impressions.
On the way back... ...everybody knows that these pictures in their mind will stay forever, the time is two o'clock, still we have a long evening with happy memories. Tomorrow is another day...!
