Comments My 3rd trip on the Giamani - probably the only ship catering for small groups of max 10 divers in 5 en-suite individual air-con controlled cabins. Good service and food and comfortable cabins with everything in good working order in spite of Covid restrictions meaning the ship had not been out to sea as much as usual.

Similans is great for beginners and the more you go north to Surin islands to places like Koh Bon the better the diving: more chance of pelagic (still small most of the year) but bigger schools of fish like barracuda and snapper.
