{"product_id":"north-andaman-similan-islands-liveaboard","title":"North Andaman Similan Islands Liveaboard","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis seven-night loop from Ranong works north to south through Thailand's Andaman Sea: the Surin Islands first, then Richelieu Rock, Koh Tachai and Koh Bon, down to the granite boulders of the Similan Islands, and back north for a final morning at Richelieu Rock. Expect up to 25 dives, with up to four a day, including night dives and a blackwater dive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichelieu Rock is the dive people come back for. It's a single pinnacle, yet every ledge holds something: seahorses, ghost pipefish, harlequin shrimp, an octopus watching from a crack, with barracuda schooling off the edge and the chance of a whale shark drifting through the blue. Koh Bon trades the macro for big animals, with mantas queuing at its cleaning stations. In the Similans, granite boulders the size of houses stack into swim-throughs and canyons, and at Koh Tachai the night dives bring blacktip reef sharks into your torchlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrip Highlights \u0026amp; Key Regional Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpend two days at Richelieu Rock, looking for seahorses, harlequin shrimp, ghost pipefish and whale sharks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatch manta rays at the Koh Bon cleaning stations, with zebra (leopard) sharks and turtles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDive the quieter Surin Islands for macro life, eagle rays and the chance of whale sharks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwim through the granite boulders at Elephant Head Rock, Christmas Point and West of Eden in the Similans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight dive Koh Tachai for blacktip reef sharks, with barracuda and trevally by day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne blackwater dive included, weather permitting, to see larval and drifting creatures in open water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 25 dives over 8 days, with groups of no more than 4 divers per guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Smiling Seahorse","offers":[{"title":"Standard Cabin","offer_id":68003049472367,"sku":null,"price":2336.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Deluxe Cabin","offer_id":68003049505135,"sku":null,"price":3083.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Master Cabin","offer_id":68003049537903,"sku":null,"price":3211.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1737\/1247\/files\/north-andaman-similan-islands-liveaboard-ranong-andaman-sea-1.jpg?v=1793771863","url":"https:\/\/divebookings.com\/products\/north-andaman-similan-islands-liveaboard","provider":"Dive Bookings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
