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.
