A Similan liveaboard trip is the ultimate way to enjoy the best diving in the Similan Islands.
On a 4 day 4 night trip you have the chance to explore more dive sites and also the best dive sites to the north, these include Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock.
If you haven’t been on a liveaboard before then this is an excellent opportunity to add a new dimension to your diving experiences so far. If you are recently certified as an Open Water diver, you will quickly see the benefits of liveaboard diving.
In a nutshell: You should choose a multi day safari because you will get to do more dives on this type of diving adventure than on any other. This is a trip for true diving enthusiasts who want to visit the best Thai dive sites, spend more time diving and want to explore further afield.
Similan liveaboards are a unique and exciting way to explore the underwater world that the Andaman Sea has to offer. They range in duration from 2 day 2 night to 5 day 6 night trips, and in class from budget to high end. There is a boat suitable for every budding diver wanting to venture out to the Similan Islands.

Like most cases in life, you can apply the adage ‘you get what you pay for’ to a liveaboard trip.
There are many different boats to chose from, budget price to high end luxury boats, some offering more compact three day trips, others offering five, six or even nine day trips which include Burma’s Mergui Archipelago. All liveaboards are essentially the same, they offer diving from a platform which you can ‘liveaboard’. It is the service provided and the facilities on board that can add that extra something you are looking for.

Once you’ve got your diving license, the best thing you can do is dive — a lot. A Similan liveaboard gives you time, variety, and the perfect environment to improve. With multiple dives a day, relaxed conditions, and no daily transfers, you can focus entirely on becoming a better diver. You’ll also get the chance to observe and learn from more advanced divers and possibly continue your training. Be warned though — this kind of trip often leads to a lifetime passion 😉
