Schedule and Prices for the Similan Live-aboard

Scuba diving the Similan and Surin islands of the Andaman Sea, Phuket, Thailand is such a pleasure, and one not to be missed. Many liveaboard dive boats swing around to Koh Samui during the low season at the Similans but we dive the islands all year round. The seas may not be as calm and the visibility as low as 20 meters (nearly 70 feet) but there's a lot of interesting marine life to be seen still. With so many less divers about it makes for great scuba diving.

Mermaids always use the Really Wicked Witch for our Phi Phi and Similan Island live aboard dive trips. The boat is very clean, well run and the dive masters are extremely knowledgeable and indeed flexible. When we charter the boat we have literal running of the dive sites.

You are more than welcome to enquire and book any of the following trips. However please note that the "red highlighted" trips are my personal dive live-aboard holidays where I am able to get to go on the boat also. I call these the "Friends Trips" and there is an automatic discount for any one joining. Check out our Friends Trip (March 2004), Friends Trip (October 2004), Friends Trip (March 2005), Friends Trip (May 2005) and Friends Trip (November 2005) - Friends Trip (May 2006) - Friends Trip (November 2006) - Friends Trip (Phi Phi Feb 2007) - Friends Trip (Similans 2008)

Please just contact me if you are interested or have any enquiries about the liveaboard trips. Please note that Mermaids Divers receive a discount from the costs printed at the bottom of the page.
