Similan Liveaboards From Phuket & Khao Lak

Various diving safaris will also be offered in Myanmar during the upcoming diving season. Operating in Thailand from late October to early May. Or dive into the pristine waters of the Komodo Islands and Raja Ampat with our Indonesia Liveaboard options.

Thailand Liveaboards

Phuket and Khao Lak are the best starting points for diving safaris to the Similan Islands and Myanmar. Thailand liveaboard trips usually include the dive sites of the Similan and Surin Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and the famous Richelieu Rock. We're thrilled to announce the liveaboard 2027 season with the new Mandarin Queen 8 (Jovanita) for exciting dives in the Similan Islands.

Phuket Dive Information

Situated 8 degrees north of the Equator, Phuket's warm tropical climate is tempered by cool easterly breezes from November to April, and by fresh westerly monsoon winds in summer months. Phuket Weather is good for scuba diving and liveaboards almost the whole year, but is better from November to May, with plenty of sunshine. Divers can expect a few wet and windy days during May - October, but it's normally quite sunny. The low summer holiday season can actually be a great time to go diving in Phuket, since you find less divers under water, and much lower hotel prices.

Phuket is the largest island in Thailand and well known as a tourism and diving destination. Just a short hop by jet from Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore, and with daily connections to most major Asian cities, Phuket is ideally situated for a short Thailand diving vacation or a relaxing holiday. Time is GMT +7 hours, 1 hour behind Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

Plan Your Phuket Diving Season

The prime Phuket diving season on the west coast spans from mid-October to mid-May. Day Trips and Dive Courses are available year-round. As your reliable partner for dive safaris since 1999, we offer you only the best dive safari boats and day trip boats on the market. We are always happy to help you find your best diving adventure.
