Thai Sumatra Dive Trip
Looking for 4 to 5 persons (preferably experienced divers with own equipment) to share in the cost of food and fuel for a trip from Thailand to N.Sumatra. We will depart from Kuraburi, Phang Nga, and dive Richelieu, Surin, Tachai, Bon, Similans before heading to Phuket. In Phuket we will spend a day clearing the boat and immigration before departing for Hin Daeng/Muang and then across the Malacca Straits to Pulau Weh, Sumatra, Indonesia. After diving at Weh and vicinity we will then cruise down the coast of Ache, Sumatra ending the trip at Simeulue Island, Sumatra, Indo.
