Maps & Itinerary
PLEASE NOTE: The inclusion of some of dive sites is dependent on the itinerary duration, season and other factors that may be beyond our control.
Koh Phi Phi National Park
Located 45km east of Phuket, the Moo Koh Phi Phi Archipelago consists of 6 islands, the largest and only inhabited of which is Phi Phi Don. Above water scenery is dramatic with huge limestone cliffs, sheltered coves and bays with white sandy beaches. Many of the dive sites are walls with depths ranging between 10 and 25 metres, covered in coral bushes and sea fans.
Koh Haa National Park
With a name that translates as Five Islands, there are several dive sites around these amazing islands where you can explore pinnacles, walls, boulders, caverns, and swim-throughs to discover the varied marine life that has made these islands their home.
Hin Daeng & Hin Muang
These two isolated pinnacles are best known for manta ray and whale shark encounters. Almost perpetual good visibility and dramatic topography, combined with huge numbers of fish, make for excellent liveaboard diving.
Your cruise director will schedule up to four dives per day; 3 day dives and a sunset or night, totalling approximately 14 dives over 4 days. Each full diving day is typically scheduled as follows:
- Light Breakfast followed by a briefing and dive 1
- Full Breakfast and relaxation period
- Briefing and dive 2
- Lunch and relaxation period
- Briefing and dive 3
- Snacks and relaxation period
- Briefing and dive 4, where possible
- Dinner
For your last day on board, there will usually be 2 morning dives before Thailand Master returns to Chalong Pier for dismebarkation after lunch.
