The liveaboard is small and great for small charters for groups of friends or families. It suits not only divers but also non-diving fellow travelers. Kayaking and snorkeling are also available. The most beautiful islands of Thailand can be visited. Short trips are perfect to combine with other activities and hotel accommodations.

Boat interior and exterior
The boat has six cabins and can accommodate up to 12 people. Four of the cabins have bunk beds, wall fans, and shared bathrooms, while the other two staterooms have double beds and private showers.
The time between dives and other activities can be spent on the top deck, which offers a perfect space for relaxation and enjoying the view.

Safety
The safety equipment on board includes a VHF radio, AIS GPS tracking, GPS, depth sounder, life raft, life jackets, MOB buoys, fire extinguishers, a first aid kit, and oxygen.

Itineraries
The boat's itineraries are designed to let you explore the most amazing dive sites in Thailand, such as Phi Phi, Racha Yai, and Racha Noi. All trips are short but packed with not only diving but also other activities. The dive sites have been carefully chosen to offer a great trip for both divers and non-divers alike. You can enjoy kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, beach exploring, massage, and relaxation while the divers are exploring the underwater world.
The waters around Phi Phi Islands are home to a variety of marine life, including reef sharks, leopard sharks, turtles, moray eels, octopuses, and various types of fish. The dive sites around Phi Phi also feature colorful coral reefs, walls, and swim-throughs. The dive sites around Racha Yai Island offer opportunities to see reef sharks, stingrays, barracudas, octopuses, and a range of tropical fish species. The visibility is usually good, and the underwater topography includes walls, boulders, and coral gardens. Racha Noi is known for its deeper dive sites and the possibility of seeing larger marine species such as manta rays, whale sharks, and even humpback whales (in season). The dive sites around Racha Noi also offer vibrant coral reefs, steep walls, and strong currents that attract diverse marine life.

When to go
The best time to dive in Thailand depends on the region you plan to visit. Phuket and the Andaman Sea (including Phi Phi, Racha Yai, and Racha Noi): The best time to dive here is from November to April when the weather is dry, and the water is generally calm. During this season, the water temperature ranges from 27 to 30°C (81-86°F), and visibility can be up to 30 meters (100 feet). From May to October, the area experiences a monsoon season, which brings rough seas, low visibility, and occasional closures of dive sites
