Liveaboard Diving - Thailand - Komodo - Raja Ampat

Liveaboards - The best way to dive!

At Sunrise Divers, we believe that liveaboards are the best way to dive, and the best way to reach the top dive sites in Asia. We are based in Phuket, Thailand which is the centre of dive operations for liveaboards to the Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock. The Similans have become very popular in recent years with boats to suit all budgets. Komodo in Indonesia is experiencing a surge of interest right now with a fair number of liveaboards available - many are now also diving in the old "Spice Islands" of Raja Ampat. On this page you'll find brief destination information with links to all boats.

As one of Asia's top independent liveaboard booking specialists, Sunrise Divers carefully selects the best liveaboards in all price classes. If you want to experience the best diving in Thailand, Burma and Indonesia, you're in the right place!

Thailand (Similan Islands)  -  Indonesia (Komodo and Raja Ampat)

Thailand offers a huge variety of diving options and has become well known centre for liveaboards to the Similan Islands, Richelieu Rock, Hin Daeng, Phi Phi and more. Liveaboards depart from Phuket and Khao Lak between October and May. There truly is something for everyone from backpackers to luxury divers. Trips range from overnighters in the Similan Islands to 9 day adventures combining diving in Thailand and Burma.

Many liveaboards run trips of 4 days / 4 nights, which is enough time to dive the best sites around the Similan Islands National Park plus Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock. There are also plenty of short 2 day trips which head south to Hin Daeng, Hin Muang and the Phi Phi Islands. Often you can combine the two, giving you a 6 day safari around the Andaman Sea.

It's becoming more common for liveaboards to have 5 and 6 day trips on their schedule, allowing extra time for exploration and time for some dives in the Surin Islands which offer some fantastic diving, but are often overlooked.

Most of the liveaboards we offer have cruises around Komodo, some based in the national park, some running to and from Bali. Most trips are 6 - 8 days, but there are options for 3 - 4 day trips too.
