Similans Boat D2

This 32 long yacht, built in 2001, offers a leisurely liveaboard scuba diving adventure. Soften your feeling with wood interior design under the durability of a steel structure. Enjoy the luxury of various types of staterooms. All 3 decks are properly utilized for your most comfort and convenience. The large salon where you will enjoy the varied international cuisine by our top class chef is fully fitted with lounge chairs, television, video, VCD and DVD player. The sundeck is the place where you can relax and enjoy taking photographs and sun bathing. It is also a BBQ area in the evening. Because the ship is operated by an underwater photographer team, she completes all underwater photographer / videographer's requirements.
This is one of the boats that also has Burma (Myanmar) trips in her schedule. And: on these trips you will not only dive at Birma Banks, but also at the Rockies.

From June till mid October this vessel offers trips in Indonesia, Derawan and Sangalaki. See here for the trip schedule for Derawan-Sangalaki liveaboard trips.
