North Andaman Sea Similan & Surin Liveaboard
6 Days • Monthly
Dive with Andaman Scuba
This six-night dive trip runs south along Thailand's Andaman coast. It starts near the Myanmar border at the Surin Islands and Richelieu Rock, then moves to the pinnacles of Koh Tachai and Koh Bon. Next come the Similan Islands, including Elephant Rock, East of Eden and Christmas Point. The last two days are in the south at Koh Haa, Hin Muang and Hin Daeng, before the boat returns to Phuket. There are 22 dives in total, including four night dives and three beach stops.
Your first dive goes in at 08:00, before breakfast. At Richelieu Rock, you circle the pinnacle looking for seahorses and pipefish among the soft corals, while trevally and barracuda school overhead. At Koh Bon you drift along the ridge and keep an eye on the blue for mantas. After dark the reef changes, and your torch picks out nudibranchs on the rock. The final morning is spent among the cuts and swim-throughs of Koh Haa.
