Plan your trip before and after our diving liveaboard
The Smiling Seahorse can help you to organize the rest of your trip
Ok, so this dive cruise from Ranong looks great, and you’re really looking forward to going diving with us, but really you haven’t been to Ranong in the past and would like to have it all organised with as little hassle as possible.
Well, guess what?
We are established here, and it’s a lot easier to buy an internal flight ticket or book a room from here than it is online. And we’re happy to take the burden away from you. After all, it should be your best holiday ever!
If you want to do it yourself, you’ll find all the information needed below. Or do you want an “all-inclusive” tailored packaged holiday to your wants and needs? Ask us for a full quotation; we can organise it all for you.
The Smiling Seahorse offers you the opportunity to do any training course while staying on our liveaboard:
Combine the trip of a lifetime with dive training in perfect conditions.
Warm tropical waters (around 30°C all year round) and crystal-clear visibility will give you the experience of a real diving expedition.
DIVE COURSES
The Smiling Seahorse recently teamed up with ISC (International Scuba Certification) to offer quality diving training and certification.
ISC is an ISO-accredited and HSC-approved (UK) training agency with several advantages over PADI:
- A modern online platform and record system: ISC offers a 100% digital training and student record system, which sets it apart from traditional methods.
- Free Digital Online Training: ISC offers free digital online training, making it more cost-effective and convenient for divers.
- Emphasise practical skills and knowledge; the instructor has the freedom to adapt to each student individually.
If you’d rather get certified by the industry’s leader, we can also provide PADI certifications from “Advanced Open Water” to “Dive Master”.
We also offer many specialities to improve your skills and abilities underwater.
- Pick up from the Airport or other places:
We can arrange pick up services to or from Ranong, Phuket, Khao Lak by car or minivan.
- We can also book your hotel in Ranong:
We can book most hotels in Ranong from 800 to 5000 THB/night depending on the standard you would like.
- Other Activities in Ranong
Diving is great, we know; we made it our life! But there are many other things to do around, so if you have time, we can help you organise the rest of your trip.
- Find a bungalows in Koh Phayam
You want to spend some quality time on a Paradise Island before or after your cruise; Koh Phayam is for you. Only an hour away from Ranong by speed boat with several departures per day.
A perfect retreat to relax: read a book in your hammock, swim, explore the rainforest, watch birds and monkeys, get a massage, or rent a kayak. Enjoy…
-Plan an extension in Khao Sok National Park
On the way between Phuket and Ranong, Khao Sok is a great place to explore the rainforest at its deepest and experience some jungle activities in Thailand (elephant riding, walks, canoeing, etc.).
