Liveaboard - Queen Scuba
Cruises in the Similan Islands and up to Richelieu Rock with the liveaboard "Queen Scuba". This stylish and comfortable liveaboard started operating in November 2003 and has now had 2 successful seasons. At 28m in length, she is also one of the larger Similan liveaboards. All cruises depart from Thap Lamu, with free transfers by minibus available from Phuket.
Queen Scuba has 3 cabin types - Standard bunk (on the lower deck), VIP and Master. All cabins have private bathrooms with hot water, and are all air-conditioned. There are 2 twin and one triple bunk cabins. All VIP cabins are double bed, making this a great boat for couples - many Similan liveaboards have only twin beds. The queen size Master cabin is one of the largest on any liveaboard. The Master and VIP cabins are on the main deck, with ocean view windows. The Master cabin includes private TV and DVD.
Please note that the Queen Scuba is a little more strict about PADI regulations than many liveaboards. Open Water divers with no logged deep or night dive experience will not be allowed to do these dives. But you can take advantage of the instructors on board and do a PADI Advanced Open Water course for 5000 Baht (125 U$) or Deep/Night "Adventure" dives for 1000 Baht each.
The regular 4 day schedule covers the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock. Some trips may also dive at the Surin Islands which are far less dived. Also, many trips manage an extra dive at the Boonsung Wreck close to Khao Lak. Queen Scuba takes maximum 19 customers, and will have 4 dive staff on board. The dive deck is very large, giving plenty of room for suiting up for your dives. A 4m RIB (tender) helps with pick ups after the dives. After your dives, catch the rays on the huge sun deck on top of the boat
The indoor salon, also aircon, is equipped with TV, DVD and entertainment centre. There are power points in all cabins and the salon for charging batteries. Food will be Thai (naturally) with some Western dishes, all served buffet style. You can rent an underwater digital camera on board - rental is 30 U$ per day or 75 U$ for the whole 4 day trip, including a CD which can be made on board. Also available are underwater scooters (DPV's) which can be rented at 200 Baht per dive.
