Similan,
Surin and South Island live-aboard
diving cruise. Come and explore
the beautiful Similan and Surin
Islands on board the 33m steel
hulled Mermaid II, and enjoy
the best live-aboard diving
cruise in Thailand. The MV Mermaid
II was built in 2000, and has
now completed 3 very successful
seasons cruising to Similan,
Surin and Hin Daeng. The 4 day
Similan tour can be combined
with the 2 day Hin Daeng tour
to create a 6 day Andaman Safari,
taking you to all the best dive
sites of the Andaman Sea.
The
Mermaid II live-aboard carries
16 guests in 8 air conditioned
double cabins with semi private
bathrooms. Each cabin has it's
own wash basin and mirror. There
is also a large salon, and a
separate dining area, both air
conditioned. Mermaid 2 also
has Nitrox on board and a photo
lab with E6 film processing.
The dive deck and dive platform
are extremely spacious, making
for easy equipment preparation
and entry into the clear blue
waters.

Liveaboard
- Thailand and Burma on
the Mermaid 1
|
|
There
are possible combinations
of 4, 5, 9 or even 13
days. You decide where,
when and how much time
you would like to spend
in paradise. You have
the choice to do the complete
trip of 13 days. But you
can decide also to do
the 4 day Similan tour
from Phuket to Ranong
or Ranong to Phuket. If
4 days are not enough
and 13 to much, well the
9 days cruise from Phuket
to Burma and back to Ranong
or from Ranong to Burma
and back to Phuket hopefully
fits your schedule.

us for more information.
