Similans Boat D7

This boat was built by diveguides with many years of experience in liveaboards, who knew exactly how a comfortable liveaboard boat should look like. Each deluxe cabin and of course also the honeymoon suite has two beds, a large panoramic window, individually controlled A/C, minibar, private toilet and shower. The standard cabins are more basic, but comfortable enough and have a bathroom en-suite.

The cabin interiors are made of teak wood with white ceiling to make them light and warm. All sofas and deckchairs are covered with cushions so you can relax comfortably and recharge for the next dive. Two saloons offer plenty of relaxation room in between the dives. A maximum of twelve guests and a big sundeck guarantee plenty of space for everybody. This steel boat was built in the year 2005, completely refurbished in 2007.

This boat offers 4 and 6 days liveaboards to Similans, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock and 8 days trips to Similans, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock and Burma Banks. At the begiining and end of the season there are trips to the Southern islands, also 4 days/4 nights.
Of course you can dive with Nitrox and 15 liter tanks are available.
