NOTES:
South Siam 3 and sister ship South Siam 4 run overlapping schedules with twice-weekly 3 day/2 night loops including the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai & Richelieu Rock. Trips of 2, 3, 4 or more nights are possible. For a trip longer than 4 days, add 4,000 THB per day to the prices above. More trip details are given in the information section below. If you’d like to make a trip with one of these boats, contact us with your dates – you can start almost any day!
Please note that for this boat, if you are a less experienced Open Water certified diver or have not dived for a long time, a private divemaster may be required (2,000 Baht per day). To dive in the group you need to have minimum 10 dives for Similan and 20 dives or Advanced Diver certification for Koh Bon.
For minimum 2 divers we can offer the SSI Advanced Adventurer Diver Course on board including dive insurance for 5,900 baht/person (price for 2D/1N).
Divers with less experience can take the advanced course instead of just paying for a private guide
Diving Equipment
Rental equipment is provided by Sunrise Divers for our divers on the South Siam liveaboard. Rental price is 500 Baht per day for a set (BCD/regulator/fins/mask/wetsuit), 250 Baht/day for a dive computer and only 150 Baht/day for dive insurance. We have a large equipment room at our dive center with 30 sets of Aqualung BCDs and regulators and a large selection of long and short wetsuits, open heel and full foot fins.
If you need to rent equipment we suggest you meet at our dive center at least 1 day before departure day, so you can try all equipment before departure. We can’t arrange on departure day because these trips have early morning pick up starting 6am, so all equipment is prepared the day before. If not possible to meet at our shop, no problem, we will pack extra equipment in different sizes.
Torches for night dives, no charge. 15 liter tanks available 300 Baht per day.
Nitrox
Nitrox is not blended on the boat, but if you want to use Nitrox you can order in advance, price 350 Baht per 12 liter fill. Tanks have to be carried to the boat from the mainland by speedboat.
Courses
PADI Advanced Open Water course is 8,500 Baht. PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) course is 8,500 Baht.
Drinks
Drinking water, coffee, tea and sodas are included. Beers are 50 Baht.
