Similan Islands Liveaboard Cruises Thailand - Welcome
Liveaboard cruises to the Similan and Surin National Parks in Thailand are the highlight of any diving holiday in Phuket. With snow-white beaches and a tropical jungle above the water and spectacular dive sites in often crystal clear water below, it's not surprising that the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tashai and Richelieu Rock rank among the top ten diving areas in the world!
Exploring these fantastic dive sites from the comfort of one of the selected boats below is truly one of the finest ways to spend your time here.
We will help you select the boat best suitable for your itinerary as well as your budget. With many years of experience conducting liveaboard cruises in the Andaman Sea, Dive Asia is uniquely qualified to make your Phuket diving experience the best part of your vacation.
The Brand New M/V Diverace E-Class is the newest and probably most comfortable Liveaboard boat in Phuket. She offers cruises to the Similan and Surin National Parks as well as some Burma cruises.

Launched in Dec 2014, MV DiveRACE Class E is built to impress her passengers. As the newest luxury liveaboard to sail Southeast Asia, she is elegantly designed with comfort and safety in mind.
MV DiveRACE Class E's design was conceptualized with the help of a team of naval architects and Dutch vessel consultant. She is constructed following international standards closely, with the aim of being a luxury liveaboard of excellent quality, providing the best for each passenger on board during trips.
The M/V Hallelujah's large dive deck in the rear of the boat gives you plenty of room to set up and get in. The on board nitrox system allows nitrox certified divers to extend their bottom times with enriched air mixes. For those not Nitrox certified, we offer Nitrox certification on board, along with other courses such as deep specialty and photo specialty.
Dive groups are maximum of 4 people (unless a group booking prefers to all dive together), and your gear is washed and your tanks are filled for you by our highly trained staff.
Standard and DIN tanks are available on the boat.
For those traveling with non-divers, we invite you to bring them along as a snorkeling guest, or sign them up for their Open Water course, which can be completed entirely on the trip. We can even arrange to complete the first day of Open Water training in the pool just before the trip to maximize your dive time out at sea.
