Today we arrived at the Similan Islands (“similan” is the Malaysian word for “nine”). Landed at island #4, did a lovely hike to the top of the island where I got a fantastic panoramic view of the bay. Near the top the trail gets very steep and you have to use ropes.
Afterwards, I spent some free time on the beach doing water sports, such as waterskiing and kayaking.
In the afternoon, we did our first scuba dive of the trip (dive #30 since PADI certification last summer). I had my brand new underwater camera (the Sealife DC800) and was anxious to try it out. You can judge for yourself how well it worked. Here are a few underwater photos:
