Phuket Liveaboard Diving with the Explorer

Liveaboard diving from Phuket with the Explorer gives you the chance to have your Similan Islands liveaboard diving adventure at a price which will not break the bank. Now starting her fourth season operating from Phuket, we have heard nothing but praise for the boat and her friendly crew. There are eight twin cabins, all air conditioned, with 3 shared bathrooms and an air conditioned salon. With a maximum of 16 guests, there is ample space for relaxation on board - you can roast on the sun deck, take a seat in the shade or cool off in the salon. The Explorer continues to set a high standard and is great value for money.

The on board accommodation is in twin bunk cabins, with 3 shared bathrooms. Some cabins actually have 4 bunks, meaning the boat can hold over 20 guests, but will be limited to 16 in twin cabins to maximise the space available and make your liveaboard tour more comfortable. For full boat charters, you can take a maximum of 24 divers - contact us for charter information.

Between dives, you have plenty of opportunity to take a walk on some the Similan islands or jump overboard and snorkel in the shallow waters of a quiet bay. The experienced crew are always on hand to help you get the most from your liveaboard diving cruise. The dive deck is spacious, well organised and monitored by CCTV for your safety. The Explorer is also equipped with a 4m dinghy, and all of the most modern navigation and communication equipment. Explorer departs from the port of Thap Lamu, close to Khao Lak - we can arrange hotel transfers from either Phuket or Khao Lak.
