Thailand Liveaboards – Indepth Dive Centre Phuket

What happens on a Thailand Liveaboards adventure with Indepth Dive Centre?

First of all your Thailand Liveaboards adventure starts with you being picked up by minibus from your hotel. This can be from either Phuket or Khao Lak. After that you will either be driven to the pier at Tap Lamu in Khao Lak or to Chalong Pier on Phuket. Which pier depends on the time of year and your Thailand Liveaboard destination.

The Similan Islands National Park, The Surin National Parks and the Burma dive sites are protected areas. Most noteworthy is that they are officially designated National Marine Parks. Therefore they are subject to regulations and are not affected by either heavy boat traffic or over-fishing. As a result this is where you are likely to find the giant Whale Sharks and also Manta Rays Thailand Liveaboards are so famous for!

Thailand Liveaboard trips depart daily to The Similan Islands. In addition they visit Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock and the Burma dive sites in the northern Andaman Sea. There are also Liveaboards departing regularly to Hin Daeng, Hin Muang and also to Phi Phi in the Southern Andaman Sea.

Finally there is another awesome Day Trip option for those pressed for time. This would be going out by speed boat  to one of the Liveaboards for some dives and then straight back to Phuket. Consequently this can be done in 1 day allowing you the chance to dive the excellent Similan Island dive sites, even if you don’t have time for a Liveaboard.
