Diving Day Trips in Khao Lak
Unforgettable Dive Day Trips: Explore Richelieu Rock, Similan Islands, Surin Islands, Koh Bon, and Koh Tachai in Khao Lak.
Our day trips to Richelieu Rock, the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, and Koh Tachai start early in the morning.
We pick you up from your hotel around 7:30-8:30 and together we drive to Baan Nam Kem port, where we board our diving speedboat, the "Blue Marlin." At the pier, you will be introduced to your dive guides who will accompany you on board, where your equipment has already been set up.
As we depart, you will receive a short boat briefing, and then we'll serve a light breakfast. Depending on the dive site, it takes about 1 to 1 hour 20 minutes to reach our destination. Your dive guide will provide a briefing about the dive site, and then you'll dive into the beautiful Andaman Sea. During the surface interval after the first dive, we will serve lunch. After the second dive, we'll store the equipment and offer you some fruits as the boat heads back.
We'll be back in Khao Lak around 4 pm, and then we'll take you directly from the pier back to your hotel or to the dive center in Ban Niang.
