FULL DESCRIPTION
The Similans and Surin Islands are rated as one of the Top 10 Dive Destinations in the world. That’s what the internet says, and the internet never lies.
The Similan Islands Liveaboard adventure starts on the beautiful MV Blue Dolphin by Big Blue Diving Khao Lak. The crew has been running trips for the last 20 years so they know EXACTLY what they’re doing.
You’ll start with a pick-up from your hotel or Phuket airport in the afternoon and head to the pier for the evening departure. You’ll have a boat briefing and then dig into to awesome dinner after meeting the team as well as your new water friends that you’ll be with for the next 4 days enjoying the Similan and Surin Islands.
Most days start at around 6:30am with a gentle wake-up call. You’ll have coffee or tea available as well as cereal or snacks for a nice meal if you’re one of those who needs a bite before they explore the underwater world.
Time for the first dive around 7am. The very first dive on Day 1 will be a check-dive to make sure the crew has the groups right. We want everyone to be paired as closely as possibly to every dive is as long and enjoyable as possible.
After the first dive, an amazing full breakfast will be waiting for you back on the boat. Grab the provided towels and dry yourself off and the meal awaits. Make yourself a coffee or steep some tea.
Once you’re done digesting, it’s already time for the second dive of your Similan and Surin Islands Liveaboard (did you expect anything else?).
Dive and see all the cool fishies, maybe even a Whale Shark or Manta Ray if you’re lucky? Explore the incredible topography of limestone boulders and see thousands of species that call these water home. Those with a love for the small critters will enjoy exploring the small little cracks and crevices to see what’s lurking.
Heading back to the boat you’ll have some time to take a nice shower, play some games while lunch is prepared and then once you’re done eating, guess what? DIVE TIME.
In the evening you’ll have a nice snack, with one of the days also including a lovely beach visit if you need to go see what land looks like again. You’ll go for one more evening dive to finish the day and then a nice big dinner awaits around 7:30pm-8:00pm.
You will definitely sleep well with all the diving and eating and you’ll wake up the next day and do it all over again!
The schedule is the perfect balance of rest, food and most importantly diving. It’s the best schedule created over 20+ years of experience in the marine park. The greatest way to get the full Similan and Surin Islands diving experience and truly see what all th fuss is all about!

Amazing crew and local team on the boat. Was so happy that we go to do 3 days of diving and see the top spots of the Similans but still get to stay on land at night. The wife doesn’t do so well out on the sea, so this was perfect!
Never seen turtles so big in my life! Thanks to entire team from the chat staff who were always so quick to the boat crew who were there to help with anything all day. Book with them and you won’t be disappointed.
Incredible experience from start the finish. Boat journey time did take a while but the team made it easy. We had lots of space on the giant speedboat and got to go scuba diving at Richelieu twice in one day!
Loved dealing with GoDiving. Amir and the team all helped me figure out the best plan for multiple dive days for my wife and I. The schedule worked out so well and we loved the dive center and the team. Thank you!
The team on WhatsApp made the entire booking process so simple and easy. I got all my questions answered at all hours of day and night and I loved the handy booking confirmation page they give you once it’s locked in. Thank you!
Do not hesitate to book with GoDiving. Done 3 different trips across Asia and these guys always send you to the best dive centers and help sort out everything you need. Couldn’t be happier with the decision to trust them!
