diving laem mae phim pinnacle

This dive site is located about an hour's boat ride from the coast of rayong province in thailand. it is not listed in the dive sites that dive shops in pattaya offer for fun dives and to get to laem mae phim one has to take a 4-hour car ride from bangkok. this site is a coveted dive site by local thai divers and our invitation to dive here couldn't be turned down. this one is near koh samet.

the dive coincided with king Bhumibol's birthday and my beloved wife's vacation to the philippines. this album will differ from my usual dive albums with more photos taken topside. the underwater photos were done by a guy who was not in the mood for taking photos hence the shots are mainly showing tanks, butts, fins, etc.

when the missus left for the philippines she took with her my dive cam - canon g12, and that's why i can't show any photos of the beauty that greeted my eyes on the 3 dives.

divers have sworn to be guardians of
marine life including the fish in
this bucket and yet one doesn't have
to fight off temptation always. lol
