Overview
Something for every diver
Coral gardens
Abundant marine life
Stunning natural topography
Rich Culture
Located in the Andaman Sea, off the West coast of Thailand, The Similan Islands are thought to have inherited their name from the Malay word 'sembilan' meaning "nine". This is because the Similans Archipelago consists of a group of nine granite boulder islands. Above the water, the topography is stunning; tropical vegetation tops the islands, giving way to granite boulders or white sandy beaches, all surrounded by crystal clear, warm water. However, it is what lies beneath the surface that allows the Similans to lay claim to being one of Thailand and Asia's top scuba diving liveaboard destinations.

Maps & Itinerary
This 4 night Thailand liveaboard adventure combines the Similans with Kon Bon, Koh Tachai and reaches northwards as far as Richelieu Rock and the Surin Islands.
Diving in Thailand should be on the agenda for every diver. With interesting topography created by the rocky boulders, alongside excellent marine life, it is easy to see why.
The Similan & Surin Islands are best reached by liveaboard dive boat and this 4 night scuba diving itinerary allows up to 14 dives, including up to 3 sunset / night dives. Sharks, marbled whip rays, turtles, harlequin shrimp and wondrous soft corals all await the eager diver.
On a typical day we offer up to 4 day dives although, where possible, the 4th dive may be substituted for a night dive when the boat is anchored within a lagoon. The diving day is typically scheduled as follows:
- Light Breakfast followed by a briefing and Dive 1
- Full Breakfast, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 2
- Lunch, relaxation period, briefing and Dive 3
- Snack relaxation period, briefing and Dive 4, where possible
