The Similan & Surin Islands are recognised as one of the top ten dive destinations in the world and the chances of diving with sharks, manta rays and turtles are high on this fantastic trip.

Scuba dive in the amazing aqua marine blue and emerald green ocean and see the diverse variety of marine life and coral gardens.

With 4 days of diving on the MVD Queen (11 day dives, 3 night dives) and group sizes of just 4 divers to 1 dive guide this trip provides nice relaxed dives on amazing dive sites.

This is a premier trip where you will dive all the major dive sites that the Similan & Surin Marine National Park Islands have to offer.

These include Koh Bon which is famous for manta ray sightings and the Surin Islands of Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock which is an amazing deep wall dive with regular leopard and white tip shark sightings and the occasional whale shark.

You can have lots of fun making use of the rubber rib support boat, so you can go and explore the untouched islands and also go snorkeling when you are not diving.

You can’t get much better value for the number of dives and if you share a four birth A/C cabin the cost is really cheap compared to most other liveaboards of this standard.

The MVD Queen is built with a wooden monohull. There are 3 decks on the boat and the main deck has 6 cabins for our divers. These cabins are all draped with curtains on each bunk for privacy and within the cabins are 2 double beds, 1 twin bunk bed and 3 quads (4) bunk bed cabins.

Our cabins are all air conditioned for your comfort and also come with a window that opens enabling you to see the glorious sea view. On the upper deck are 2 more cabins with double beds. These are our sea view cabins as when you open the door the view that surrounds you are stunning islands within an endless blue ocean. We also include 220v plugs in our cabins meaning you can charge anything you need to.

On the upper deck there is also the wheel house which is the captains headquarters at the bow. You will find an eating area at the stern where you can help yourself to beverages and snacks like toast, water, coffee, tea, fruits and electrolyte drinks. These will always be here for your consumption during your stay.

In the dining area you will see 1 large table in the centre which is perfect for socialising and meeting everyone else. There are 2 additional tables on the side ample room which allows us to gather and eat at the sides of the boat. This means we can indulge in the fantastic weather together whilst dining.

We have always had great feedback when it comes to the food on board. If you don’t believe us, check out our guests reviews! They talk wonders about what we have to offer. We also have a very large collection of fish identification books, all in different languages. So before and after your dives you can all talk about the marine life that you have witnessed together. Places like the dining area are fabulous places to chill out and relax after a day of diving too.

For breakfast we serve a very western menu; omelettes, fried eggs, brown bread, sausages, corn flakes, fruits and muesli. You have the choice of instant or fresh coffee too. Our lunch and dinners are always traditional Thai dishes and if you are vegetarian, don’t worry! Just let us know about your requirements and we will attend to you with no problems at all.

During leisure time you can enjoy watching some TV or flick on a movie on our DVD player. We can also view any videos that are made during the trip on these facilities! If you enjoy unwinding to music we have a stereo on board too so you can plug in your iPod/Mp3/CDs and jam out.

The main deck at the stern is the Dive Platform where we will prepare and gear up for our dives. There is plenty of space for you to put your equipment on and store away your dive gear. We have 40 Luxfer 12litre tanks and we use INT connection. We also have DIN adapters available.

On the MVD we provide you with the best quality air during your dives due to 2 of our Bauer Mariner II compressors which have air cooling systems. The P41 Air filters mean you will be breathing the finest and purest air on each dive.

The boat crew will accompany you during preparation for dives, helping you with dive entries and exits as well as filling the tanks. This means less time fumbling around and more time for diving! You will most likely be picked up by our boat or our dingy.

On board we have 3 large toilets with plenty of space. On the dive deck we have 2 showers too. The galley is also situated on the main deck. All food is prepared by our cook and her assistant and we cater for all types; vegetarian or not! Just inform us with any special needs and we will fulfil your needs.

Make sure you spend any spare time on our incredible Sun Deck. It is very large and spacious making it perfect for you to bronze up and embrace the eastern sun. We also have a few sun deck chairs as well as hammocks under our new shade area on the back on the deck. Slouch back and keep an eye out for manta rays and whale sharks. During our journeys to different dive sites you will see a few beauties. Our shade area is the best way to spot dolphins too! If you’re feeling tense we can fix that as we have Traditional Thai Massages available on board… All you need to do is ask.

Our MVD Queen has high standards, offers a great variety of cabin styles and serves you with some of the best dishes and cuisine on ANY liveaboard. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want! These elements make our liveaboard very cost effective and an all-round fantastic and unique experience.

Oh, and don’t forget to take an the onboard massage that you can have on the upper deck directly in the open under a clear sky and beneath the stars.
