Deep Andaman Queen Liveaboard – Luxury Diving

Step aboard the Deep Andaman Queen liveaboard, a luxury 30m yacht offering unforgettable scuba diving adventures across the Similan Islands, Surin Islands, Known as one of Thailand’s premier liveaboards, Deep Andaman Queen combines comfort, safety, and world-class diving in one complete package.

Embark on the ultimate diving adventure with our 5 Days 4 nights – 14 Dives aboard the Deep Andaman Queen. Journey through Thailand’s most legendary dive sites, including Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, the Surin Islands, and the world-renowned Richelieu Rock.

The Similan Islands are ranked among the world’s top ten destinations for scuba diving and snorkeling. This pristine marine paradise includes nine islands in the Similan archipelago, along with the outlying Koh Bon and Koh Tachai, plus the five islands of the Surin chain. Together, they form the Similan and Surin Islands National Park, home to some of the best diving in Thailand.

Each island and dive site offers something unique for every diver. Beginners can enjoy calm sandy bays with excellent visibility, while advanced divers and photographers will be drawn to the dramatic topography, thriving reefs, and abundant macro life.

Expect vibrant coral gardens, towering pinnacles, and walls where schools of fish, Hawksbill turtles, and even manta rays glide past. Shark diving opportunities also abound, with several species frequently spotted.

The crown jewel is Richelieu Rock, one of Thailand’s most iconic dive sites. This horseshoe-shaped pinnacle system is teeming with marine life both big and small — from intricate critters for macro enthusiasts to the ocean’s largest fish, the whale shark, which is a regular visitor here.

Whether you’re newly certified or an experienced diver, our liveaboard is designed to deliver maximum thrills. With spacious facilities, expert dive leaders, and small groups matched to your experience level, you’ll explore vibrant reefs, dramatic drop-offs, and encounter pelagic giants in comfort and safety.

Every trip is fully staffed, ensuring seamless service above water and unforgettable dives below. From fun diving to advanced courses, our Similan Islands liveaboards are crafted for divers who crave adventure.
