Similans Boat D2


This boat has since launching been constantly improved, so we can say that she is one of the most comfortable and diver friendly diving boats in Thailand.

All 8 cabins are fully air-conditioned and equipped with private bathrooms, camera charging outlet, storage room, wardrobe and a panoramic window. The air-conditioned salon is restaurant, bar and lounge, where you will dine enjoying the culinairy specialties from the buffet. It is also the place to watch a movie or your latest under water video. The spacious sundeck in the front of the boat is the place for sunseekers and for a lovely sunset.
The divedeck is spacious and you can choose between 12 and 15 liter tanks, and between air and Nitrox.

Departure from Phuket, transfer from Khao Lak or your hotel on Phuket to the boat by minibus.
