From 16 till 22 March we are organising a special diving trip: 6 days/6 nights to North of Similans and South Andaman. In total 21 dives at Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock, Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Koh Haa, Bida Islands and Shark Point area, really the best diving Thailand has to offer. We have only a few spaces left, see here for a more information, http://www.thailand-scuba.com/special-trip.htm.

I did a similar trip last year (White Manta) and really loved it. The combination of north and south Andaman on one trip was really nice. Plus, doing the south Andaman sites from a liveaboard means that you can get a couple of dives in before the day trips arrive.

So, I will be doing this special trip on the Pawara next March.

Doesn't happen. They either enter during the day when the national parks are closed, so no fees to pay, or when there are too many other boats and the risks are too high they don't enter.
