The Junk, Thailand

The Juk was built from teak wood in the traditional style with modern facilities. The most popular diving route in Thailand can be explored - the famous Similan Islands. Divers can choose a 6 nights trip or stay on board for 4 nights and combine the cruise with a resort vacation. Diving in Thailand features a chance to see sharks, pristine coral reefs, and an abundance of fish.

Boat interior
The boat has only 6 cabins, and all of them have facilities in the cabins. Because of the small capacity, you can rely on personal service. In between dives, boat guests can spend time in an indoor lounge with lots of entertainment facilities. Passengers can use the boat’s small library, watch TV, or use the camera table. There is also a spacious outdoor area for relaxing.

Safety
The vessel is equipped with all the necessities to ensure your safety on board: life vests, life rafts, fire extinguishers, and first-aid kits.

Itineraries

The Similan Islands have hard corals that cover the slopes down to the bottom, soft corals, and large gorgonians. This area is rich with fish life. Some types of sharks are often seen here, like leopard sharks and whitetip and blacktip reef sharks. While diving in the Similans you can also encounter batfish, snapper, barracudas, surgeonfish, and unicornfish. Turtles, barracudas, and octopi often visit the shallow areas with canyons. The dive spots in the Similan Islands are diverse and interesting, even for experienced divers. Richelieu Rock has spectacular underwater scenery with colorful corals and schools of trevallies and snapper. Sometimes manta rays and whale sharks visit this dive spot.

When to go
The high season for visiting the Similans is from early November through May. Between February and April, the visibility and water temperature are more stable. To dive at Richelieu Rock, it is better to choose a time between November to April
