South Siam 3 Liveaboard 3 days / 2 nights Similans Koh Bon, Koh Tachai & Richelieu Rock 11 Dives
The South Siam 3 Liveaboard is one of the best-value ways to explore Thailand’s world-famous dive sites. Operating twice weekly 3-day / 2-night trips, this large and comfortable liveaboard visits the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Surin Islands, and the legendary Richelieu Rock.

Similan Liveaboard Diving? If you have never been on a Liveaboard diving boat they are certainly the best way to dive the Similan Islands, and we urge you to take at minimum a Similan Liveaboard 3 days / 2 nights. The liveaboard lifestyle has many attractions and many downsides. Most boats are mobile and provide inexpensive water access. A liveaboard lifestyle is becoming more popular with scuba divers around the world and is generally regarded as being a cheaper way to visit remote dive sites.
Liveaboard boats can often be luxury vessels and the attraction of the lifestyle while onboard often suits everyone.
This trip is suitable for experienced open water or advanced certified dives, depths can be between 18m – 40m
Similans: The best chances to see Whale Sharks in Thailand.
You may find that liveaboards have customers coming from many different backgrounds. Liveaboard in Thailand offers scuba divers cabins to sleep in while they stay on board for one or more nights, unlike a day boat operation. This allows time to travel to more distant dive sites relax in between dives and you save more of your time in general.
Experienced Certified Open Water Divers can dive any of the Similan Islands Diving days.
Advanced Certified divers can access Similan Islands as well as Richelieu Rock, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai.
Free scuba refresher available
Your certification never expires, but if it’s been 6-12 months since your last scuba dive and/or the thought of assembling your dive gear makes you nervous, a refresher is a good idea. It’s better to be over-prepared and dive safely than risk a problem because you forgot something important – we offer a free pool refreshers in our Dive pool for all pre paid online bookings this way you van test your dive equipment or make sure our equipment is the right sizes for you.
