Thailand Diving - Similan Islands Liveaboards - Diving Burma from Khao Lak

Liveaboard diving and sailing trips to the Similan Islands in Thailand, the Mergui Archipelago and Burma Banks in Myanmar (Burma) from Khao Lak.

When planning a trip to the Andaman Sea you will encounter dozens of boats, hundreds of dive centres with one big question:

"Which one is the right one for me?"

TDS is a lot more than just a dive centre, our team work on a vast array of liveaboards for many different companies every single day, so we are able to give you individual advice and provide first hand information whether you are looking for holiday diving, wanting to charter a boat for a dive club trip or simply for an afternoon out on the Islands.

Feel free to contact us if your plans are more ambitious, such as private charters, research trips, diving for the handicapped or if you're a professional underwater photographer in need of 'the shot'. We have over 11 years local experience and work only with reputable, environmentally friendly partners to ensure your perfect trip. We are happy to arrange your trip but you can also come dive with us on a liveaboard.

Rooted with a deep devotion to the Andaman region we also run our own community projects. SEE&SEA was founded by Thailand Dive and Sail in 2009 with the goal of improving the quality of life for local indigenous populations so we can work together to create a sustainable future for the area's environment through aid programs and educational projects.

One Day at the Moken Village

Lukas on the balcony at Ngui's house The view from our base at Ngui's house
 
Now I am officially a DMT (dive master in training) at Thailand Dive & Sail and I can bet that most of the other DMT’s have never had this kind of trip to gain experience, and this is just the first steps I do as a trainee. But luckily I didn’t really feel like a trainee, because I had already had so many responsibilities and challenges so this was a good lesson for me. For the next two days we were to assist a film crew film the Moken who live on the Surin Islands. The logistics started before we even left on the speedboat; I had to help the video crew with their equipment, but besides that I also had to check out where we could fill our tanks. This was quite a story, because I had to go on a live-aboard and luckily Mr. Chocolate (a Thai crew member of the boat) was there to help us out so I could fill the tanks with their compressor and take these tanks back to the islands on a longtail boat. For sure I had to set up and tear down the gear a few times a day, but this is not what I want to talk about now!.. read more

SY Cataleya

SY Cataleya

Destinations:
Mergui Archipelago Burma
Phi Phi Islands Thailand
Phang-Nga Bay
Southern Islands Thailand

With this spacious and comfortable sailing yacht, you are sure to enjoy a wonderful, relaxing vacation. Whether it’s a day trip or a longer sailing cruise, you are guaranteed to have an unforgettable time aboard this yacht. The name “Cataleya” actually comes from a beautiful genus of orchids. Our Cataleya is an 18 meters long and 8 meters wide sailing catamaran. The ship was designed and built by Derek Kelsall, who is renowned in the industry as a shipbuilder and designer of catamarans. In 2010 and 2011, we had the Cataleya professionally and extensively modernized. Compared to most other catamarans, the Cataleya actually floats very calmly on the water, thanks to its optimal length-to-width ratio. This means there is less rocking from side to side, and even the most sensitive guests find that they don’t experience much seasickness at all. The interior was designed to be particularly bright and comfortable. Every cabin has character, and they each have their own bathroom (with a toilet, wash basin, and shower). In 2010 and 2011, the Cataleya was given a general overhaul. The Cataleya is not only roomy, it also boasts a new, modern design, with bright and friendly colors both indoors and in the exterior areas. That’s why it stands out from other catamarans. The large, covered cockpit terrace allows a 360° panorama view. The Cataleya is also a floating 5-star restaurant. Our chef has many years of experience at high-end restaurants, hotels, and in the past few years, on charter ships. The meals she prepares are always a delight, and fruits and snacks are always available between meal times.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Four days of fantastic diving with Thailand Dive and Sail

"We contacted Thailand Dive and Sail beginning August 2012 for our October holiday. Having booked into a resort we requested daytrip diving plus OWD courses for our two teenagers. Rick had the complicated task of satisfying this request outside normal diving season and he came up trumps. A great French speaking instructor was provided for our kids and we now have an additional two qualified OWD in the family. We did two day's diving from Phuket, one exclusive day's diving on the local Boonsung Wreck and one day's diving in the Similans. Rick and Clive personally did the transfers to Phuket in their fun pickup, all the equipment provided was brand new Aqualung and we had a fantastic four days diving. Don't hesitate to use Thailand Dive and Sail for your daytrip organisation. We will be back to test their live on-board services in the near future. Thanks guys for Diving with a smile ;)"
