Boat Description:

All day trip boats we used are equipped with modern navigation & communication tools, first aid kits & oxygen tanks, sundeck & shaded area, western style bathrooms and fresh water showers. Service, safety practice and food on boats are relatively high standard as there are high competitions in the region that most boat operators try hard to keep up their standard.

Our liveaboard boats stay around the Similan Islands for the season, unlike other liveaboard boats that travel from and to Phuket on fixed schedules. We transfer new guests to our liveaboard boats by minibus and speedboat every day of the week.

Sites Visited:

Shark Point - is a series of pinnacles situated about 1 hour 30 minutes boat ride East of Phuket. With a wide variety of hard and soft corals Shark Point is recognized as one of the best coral reefs in Thailand. Leopard shark is often seen here along with nurse shark.

Racha Yai and Racha Noi lie about 1 and a half hours boat ride South of Phuket. A typical dive at Racha Yai is a gentle drift along a sloping rock face, sprinkled with a variety of hard coral forests.

Large schools of false barracuda, octopi and cuttlefish can often be seen here, as well as other more common tropical species.

A nice and easy dive site with depths ranging from 2 meters throught to 30+ meters making it perfect if you haven’t been in the water for a long time or if it’s your first time.

Koh Dok Mai (flower island) is situated just over 1 hours ride East of Phuket with our diving boat. The eastern side of the island is a wall dive ranging all the way from the surface down to 20-30 meters.

The wall is covered with rock oysters, giant clams and gorgonian sea fans being home to sea horses, ghost pipefish, shrimps, nudibranches and much more. Also watch out for schooling yellow tail barracuda passing by the wall.

The eastern side of the Island also boasts 2 caves making a great dive a fantastic one. Due to surrounding topograpgy and potentially strong currents the visibility varies greatly and ranges from 5-30 meters.

King Cruiser, an 87m long x 25m wide converted car ferry built in Japan and then imported into Thailand about 10 years ago, sunk on May the 4th, 1997, after striking Anemone Reef just East of Phuket. She came to rest at a depth of 32 meters with the top of the wreck only 14 meters from the surface, making for a perfect multi-level air or Nitrox dive.

The wreck is huge and are home to a lot of marine life. On top of schooling barracuda, travelies and big schools of snappers inside the car deck, there are also a lot of scorpion fish and lion fish found all over the wreck.
