Why a Thailand liveaboard?

Thailand has some of the World's best diving. The "Land of Smiles" boasts multiple dive destinations with a huge variety of marine life and underwater topography, something to suit all tastes.The water is warm and clear. For most of the year the sun is shining and the sea is flat.Thai people are great hosts and their food is superb. Thailand is tourist friendly and has much more to offer than just diving. It also has top class accommodation and medical facilities.Thailand's best dive sites are reached by liveaboard dive boat.

Liveaboards offer the most dives for your dollar, they get you in the water first and they allow you to get to some dive sites that the day trippers can't reach.There are liveaboard boats for all budgets from backpacker to 5 star luxury vessels. Liveaboard tours can be short overnight trips or multi day dive safaris.Many liveaboards offer Nitrox diving and PADI SCUBA courses.

Thailand Scuba Diving:

Similan Islands - Rated up there with the world's best dive destinations and certainly Thailands diving crown jewel. Crystal clear water and a variety of underwater topography that most dive destinations cannot offer. A liveaboard is the ideal way to see all the best sites plus Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and whale sharks at Richelieu Rock. Underwater photographers will need macro and wide angle lenses on these trips.

Hin Daeng, Hin Muang - Red Rock and Purple Rock, two deep pinnacles frequented by sharks, manta rays and huge schools of fish. Liveaboard trips last 2/3 days and often include dives at Phi Phi Islands, Koh Haa Cave, Shark Point and King Cruiser Wreck. A great alternative or complement to a Similan liveaboard with really varied diving.

Phi Phi Islands - the old backpacker hangout has loads of quality dive sites around stunning karst limestone rock formations. Beautiful soft coral. Leopard sharts, blacktip sharks and sea turtles are all common.

Koh Tao - Off the east coast of Thailand in the gulf of Thailand. It hasn't got the visibility or the diversity of the west coast dive sites but it's a great destination for lots cheap dives and dive training. Chumphon Pinnacle gets regular whaleshark sightings.
