Here is where we post articles which may be of interest to anyone who is interested in Similan Islands diving. From time to time we are able to offer substantial discounts for last-minute bookings or well in advance which can be found on our Similan Islands Special offers page. In addition, there’s season-long Similan Islands information that can enable divers and potential divers to better understand their different options when choosing a Similan liveaboard. This isn’t just about being in the water, either. Some people like to travel on a budget, and others like to pay for minimum inconvenience. We try our best to give as many details as possible in order for those wanting to dive in the Similan Islands or Richelieu Rock to make the best decision that suits their needs. Finally, there is a section for relevant news topics which may affect (or not) the diving situation in and around the Similan Islands. It’s not uncommon for those in other countries and continents to hear something on the news and worry (or not) unnecessarily. Our news section is impartial and honest at all times.
Thailand’s biggest and best dive exhibition is currently underway in Bangkok. There are dive centres from all over Asia, offering business opportunities and special deals for those prepared to pop in and pay a visit.
The 2014-2015 diving season at The Similan Islands & Richelieu Rock started well, and just keeps getting better. With a record number of happy guests booking and enjoying their scuba diving holidays with us at Similan Diving Tours, now is the time to explore the best diving locations in Thailand. The holiday peak periods are over, but the reefs and marine life are still under the surface of the crystal-clear tropical water, waiting for you to pay them a visit.
There are three New Year celebrations in Thailand each year. January 1st, Thai New Year (April 13th-15th) and Chinese (Lunar) New Year. Thus even more opportunities for divers from all over the world to come and enjoy the best diving in Thailand during a short vacation from work or studies.
The diving season is only six weeks old on Thailand’s Andaman Coast, but the reports of marine life sightings are already extremely positive, especially for large species or sharks and rays, and marine mammals, including Orca (Killer Whales)!
Customers wanting the best prices, selection and service sometimes have to make a compromise, but not when choosing a Similan Islands & Richelieu Rock liveaboard diving safari or day trip with Similan Diving Tours. We offer trips on nearly 40 boats, and are proud of our better-then-the-rest customer service. In addition to our prices being unbeatable, all liveaboard guests receive a free t-shirt, which is waiting for them on the boat.
Some Similan liveaboard trips are either too long or too short. You can’t please everyone all of the time. Fixed schedules are easy to manage for the dive centres, but the guests’ convenience and happiness is vital. MV Oktavia has a novel solution to keeping everyone happy, by offering 2, 3 4 & 5 night diving safaris at Thailand’s best dive sites.
Similan Diving Tours are delighted to announce that every guest who books through us and joins a liveaboard cruise will receive a free t-shirt. Unbeatable prices, service and choice of boats, ...and now a free t-shirt and more!
Not only is a liveaboard diving safari the best place to take part in a PADI or SSI course, it’s also the cheapest. Those learning to dive or advancing their level are in the perfect environment to concentrate on and enjoy scuba diving, and are free from distractions such as late nights out. In addition, the prices are unbeatable. Because the diving itself has already been paid for in the price of the cruise, and because the instructors are already on board and working, the price customers pay is incredibly low.
Although The Similan Islands & Richelieu Rock are considered the best diving sites in Thailand, there are two other wonderful places to dive, just on the other side of Phuket. Fantastic underwater experiences can be had at Hin Daeng & Koh Haa, too. While most diving liveaboard boats concentrate on The Similans, and more commonly day trip boats dive at Hin Daeng & Koh Haa, there are three liveaboard boats which visit all of the best dive sites in Thailand, throughout the season.
Two of Khao Lak’s most popular liveaboard diving boats are own and operated by a small & friendly, but experienced & professional team. The competitive rates are just part of the reason that trips on these two boats are often sold out in advance.
