{"product_id":"southern-andaman-similan-thailand-scuba-diving-liveaboard","title":"Southern Andaman \u0026 Similan Thailand Scuba Diving Liveaboard","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis extended Thailand liveaboard covers both of the Andaman Sea's famous diving regions in one trip: the south around Koh Haa, Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, and the north around the Similan and Surin Islands, Koh Tachai, Koh Bon and Richelieu Rock. With ten nights, the route can also reach Koh Lipe near the Malaysian border, inside Tarutao National Marine Park, though conditions decide. Some departures run south to north from Chalong, and others run north to south from Thap Lamu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTen nights means fewer rushed days. Up to four dives a day settle into a pattern of briefings, dives, meals and naps, and a longer route gives you second looks at sites where the current changes everything between visits. The south brings soft-coral pinnacles in open water, while the north brings boulder canyons and sheltered coral gardens. By the last dive you know the routine, the guides and the sites well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrip Highlights \u0026amp; Key Regional Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHin Daeng and Hin Muang: open-ocean pinnacles dropping past 70 metres, known for manta ray and whale shark encounters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKoh Haa: caverns, chambers and swim-throughs, including The Chimney and The Cathedral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKoh Lipe: Stonehenge and 8 Mile Rock, exposed sites with strong currents and big schools (not guaranteed, weather dependent).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichelieu Rock: a horseshoe limestone pinnacle with soft corals, ghost pipefish, harlequin shrimp and seahorses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimilan Islands: granite boulders, canyons and swim-throughs, with leopard sharks and whitetip reef sharks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKoh Bon and Koh Tachai: the best area for manta rays (never guaranteed), plus whale shark chances from late January to April.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurin Islands: rich hard coral, turtles and a possible visit to a Moken village.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouthern sites such as Shark Point, Anemone Reef, King Cruiser wreck and Phi Phi walls may be added depending on season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 4 dives a day, up to 33 dives over the trip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Master Liveaboards","offers":[{"title":"Classic Quad","offer_id":68070497976687,"sku":null,"price":3970.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Double\/Twin","offer_id":68070498009455,"sku":null,"price":5646.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Twin","offer_id":68070498042223,"sku":null,"price":5646.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1737\/1247\/files\/southern-andaman-similan-thailand-scuba-diving-liveaboard-phuket-and-khao-lak-phang-nga-1.jpg?v=1794358964","url":"https:\/\/divebookings.com\/es\/products\/southern-andaman-similan-thailand-scuba-diving-liveaboard","provider":"Dive Bookings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
