Andaman Sea The Andaman Sea offers incredible dive opportunities.

From the southern sites of Hin Daeng and Hin Muang all the way to the Similan Islands and Burma Banks further north the dive conditions are outstanding - arguably some of the best in the world.

Diving Safety
Diving is statistically a very safe sport. You are far less likely to have an accident or sustain an injury compared to many other activities. However in the unlikely event of an incident Thailand has professionally operated re-compression chambers as well as many excellent medical facilities.

To minimize the chances of anything untoward happening read our diving safety tips . . .

MV Andaman offers an air-conditioned sleeping area containing individual bunks for your comfort. There is a choice of places to relax, either in our open air dining area or in a hammock or sun mattress on our large sundeck. Continuing this season due to its popularity, there will be no night dive on the final evening. Instead, we invite you to join us for a relaxing evening onboard, starting with a cocktail at sunset followed by a barbecue on the sundeck.

A great favourite with all our divers, the Andaman draws our customers back again and again to dive onboard one of the most friendly and relaxing liveaboards in the Andaman Sea.

There is a wide variety of dive sites on this trip, from the beautiful reefs of the Surin Islands to the impressive rock formations of the Similan Islands. You will also dive Koh Bon and Koh Tachai, with their submerged plateaux and ridges, and visit the world famous Richelieu Rock, the isolated pinnacle that attracts large schools of fish and pelagics, plus the occasional whale shark.

We also have a videographer onboard most trips, enabling you to view and purchase a personalised memento of your diving trip both above and below the water.
