And therefore the only Liveaboards that can cater for almost any Phuket diving holiday schedule!

Without a doubt, a Richelieu Rock trip should at the top of your bucket list if you are coming to Thailand.

SSD4 and Richelieu Rock - How do they do it?

The answer is because both South Siam Similans Liveaboards stay moored in The Similan Islands throughout the season. Consequently, Indepth can arrange a Richelieu Rock experience for you 3 times a week, usually on South Siam Divers 4 (SSD4). As a Richelieu dive is one of the highlights of diving in Thailand and is probably Thailand’s most famous dive site. You can also dive Phuket with South Siam as they also operate our Phuket Day Trip Boat 3. Thus if you need to, or would like to refresh your dive skills before your Liveaboard Trip we can arrange that for you.

South Siam 4 (SSD4) conducts scuba diving around Richelieu Rock every week. Currently, this is every Wednesday & Sunday because this is when SSD3 is in The Surin islands. Additionally, the famous Ko Tachai and Koh Bon are two other dive sites which are almost always dived on these days.
