A brief story of the beginning of the Similan Guide
The Similan Guide is the accumulated diving know how of several years of diving around the Similan islands.

Well, the only thing was, at the time I started diving at the Similans, there was not that many good dive site maps available, especially good ones were very rare and kept quite confidential.
So, I started to draw my own ones. I compared my maps to the ones of my college dive guides and so they become more accurate and also better over time. It took my quit a while until I got my maps of each dive site together.
From time to time some costumers or younger dive guides asked me about my maps. They wanted some copies for their own use or just for their memories at home.
The Similan Guide is my way to provide the divers, skin divers and dive guides with some helpful maps and information about diving at the Similan islands.
