Full dive day these days with the posibility to do up to 4 dives a day! Diving in the South Andamans offers remote, less-crowded sites with healthy reefs, dramatic pinnacles, and abundant marine life. You’ll find soft-coral–covered walls, schooling barracuda, reef sharks, and frequent sightings of manta rays. The area combines colorful coral gardens with deeper, more adventurous sites, making it a great destination for both relaxed reef dives and big-animal encounters in a quieter, more untouched part of the Andaman Sea.
3 dives, then transition north to the Similan Islands
Full dive day! Up to 4 dives. Diving in the Similan Islands is known for clear blue water, vibrant coral reefs, and abundant marine life! Exact sites will be determined once we arive but most of the dives will feature giant granite boulders, swim-throughs, and white-sandy bottoms. Divers often encounter manta rays, whale sharks, turtles, and large schools of fish, along with healthy hard and soft corals. Conditions are typically calm with excellent visibility, making it one of Thailand’s top and most scenic diving destinations.
Full dive day! Up to 4 dives. Richelieu Rock—one of Thailand’s most famous sites—offers steep walls covered in purple soft corals and attracts large pelagic life. Expect dense schools of fish, macro treasures like harlequin shrimp and seahorses, and some of the most vibrant reef life in the region.
Two morning and one afternoon dive* before cruising to port.
*Guests departing on flights from Phuket on the day of disembarkation should ensure they leave 24 hours between their final dive and flight departure time.
