That's quite a trip! 3 days at sea can be exhausting but it looked like a lot of fun. I'm so sorry you got ill but glad to see the recovery!

What a presentation my friend, this looks spectacular! So professionally edited too!

Thanks you 🥰

The underwater world looks stunning! I'm so scared of immediately getting sick when stepping on a small boat but hopefully one day I'll do it and give diving a go💕

I loved the underwater footage 😍🐠🐟 After I've finished watching your vlog I continued to watch Grey's Anatomy (S18E3) and in the first few sentences she explains heat exhaustion - what a coincidence 🙈 Good to see that you were feeling better afterwards! 💫

Absolute insane footage and such great editing, feels like I'm right there on the boat with everyone!!

Thanks so much 🥰

This video was phenomenal! The last dive looked like a dream! I so hope I can scuba some day. It is on the top of my bucket list. It looks so phenomenal. I'm worried I'll cry the whole time.

Absoluetly brilliant video! I'm here in sunny Yorkshire and you've brightened up my morning... stroll on Thailand in September. Thumbs up from me :D

All the fish, they look amazing 🥺I love the underwater footage! You've truly inspired me to take my scuba certificate, it's definitely on my bucket list for things to do in the coming year or two 😍

Some of the footage were like made in an aquarium. Gorgeous video. Thanks 😊

Wow, this looks so dreamy, you've definitely persuaded me to try and get a place on next years dive trip when you do it! ❤

Great vlog wonderful Christie!!! 💖 The dives look incredible!!! Glad you were able to recover!!!

Such an amazing experience! Huge tick off my bucket list, thank you Christianne 🥰

The sea is fabulous I'm in awe...Glad you're ok. 💝💝

Incredible underwater video! Brings back memories of diving in Thailand, but never been to Similan. I heard it is the best diving area in Thailand. I am glad you are feeling better! This looks like an amazing experience! Thanks for the awesome video!

Wow this trip looks absolutely incredible ❤

Love the vlogs!!! You are such an inspiration xx

Heat exhaustion is no joke! Glad you felt better & were able to dive again the next day 😊 I had heat exhaustion in Mexico but was able to overcome with coconuts 🥥

I would’ve killed for a coconut on that boat! 😅😅 the heat exhaustion really was no joke, although I managed pretty well the next day, I then had a MASSIVE decline for the following 3 days! Could t stay awake for longer than an hour or so before needing a lie down and nap, also completely lost my appetite. I was like dang - This is really serious!

Gosh this video has me wanting to renew my certification and go diving again, thanks

You always seem sooooo happy by or on the sea 🌊

I hope you managed to recover ok! I try to drink an electrolyte drink a day (like with a hydration tablet in, or some coconut water works great too) when I’m in hot countries. You don’t want to get hyponatraemia (low salt levels) from just replacing fluids and not electrolytes as you’ll feel weak and headachey etc. Sorry if you already knew this, I don’t mean to be condescending, but hopefully it’ll help others too 🤞🏻

Beautiful footage 😍

I enjoy watching your diving videos I look forward to seeing more thanks for sharing.

Awesome video. Can’t wait till next year🎉🎉🎉

Such amazing underwater footage with the moray eels, sea snakes and turtle, awesome. I went on a snorkelling excursion once in Thailand but no one explained the method and I ended up drinking sea water through the tube and puking at an Olympic level

Oh no 😅😅😅 that’s terrible, I’m not sure how you managed that haha

I’d be very careful about getting your lip sunburnt again. I had what I thought was a cold sore on my bottom lip that wouldn’t heal. Ended up being a cancer that I had have my bottom lip cut off and the skin pulled forward to form a new lip. I Never go out in sun without zinc on it now. Wish I’d done that before hand. Our little ps need sun protection as well. Keep the great videos coming.

That was awesome

Definitely the coolest video I've seen this year 😎🤘 Those fish 😍

Interesting, never been to overnight trip in small boat like this. Underwater footage is pristine!

I've watched you for a couple of years now and always dreamt of doing stuff like this, I'm currently 4 months into my first solo trip I travelled thailand for 3 months and now driving the whole of aus! This video makes me miss thailand so much. Have you ever dived in Koh Phi Phi. Maya corner is so incredible i left koh tao a month ago and miss diving there 😍 can't wait to do a live aboard here it looks insane!!

All underwater footage was filmed on various different GoPros ☺️ no light or red filter but I did colour grade it in editing

好靚喎！❤😊

Which liveaboard is this? I am going to Thailand for the first time in February and a three day live aboard is exactly what I am looking for!

Your videos have inspired me to get certified in July. Did you film all of the underwater footage with your GoPro?

I love you banana ❤❤

I miss diving. How much does a live aboard like this cost and do they supply all the equipment or do you need to bring your own?

@BackpackingBananas

Жыл бұрын

You can expect to pay £500-£1500 depending on the liveaboard you choose (at least in the Similan islands). Doing a liveaboard in other countries may be much more expensive. Usually all equipment is included, yes.

Very nice Vlog, as a fellow diver im intressted in trying a Diving Safari aswell. What kind of LVL of Diver are on these Boats only exp? i have around 90 Dives Logged so am i ok to go? You said "grouped around air consumption" depending on deeps ofc. i can go around 50min with the 12l tank for an avg. dive usually people last a bit longer, is this still ok? thx

hello，Is the visibility of seawater unrelated to the new moon and full moon while diving in Similan?

Great stuff. Do they let you take your own equipment tho because ain't no way you gonna catch me using a rental reg or BCD.

May I know what program was that. Any website or source please, thank you.

why did people leave halfway through the retreat? just bc of time reasons or is the rest only for more experienced divers? just curious 😅☺️

@BackpackingBananas

Жыл бұрын

People had the option to book the retreat with or without the liveaboard add-on. You had to be at least open-water certified to attend the liveaboard so we didn’t recommend it for those who were just learning to scuba dive for the first time on the retreat (just in case they didn’t like scuba diving and didn’t want to over-commit too soon!)

Hi i come from Thailand and is my nationality i just wanna tell u if u wanted to visit any type of temples please wear non-reviewing clothes cause is very disrespectful in our country u can wear reviewing clothes but make sure to wear something over it (not forcing)and u have the best journey of ur life -Your local Thai girl :)

Was the diving very advanced?
