Diving in Thailand for 3 days and 2 nights

Thailand's best Dive weekend: Surin islands and Richelieu Rock

Itinerary of our dive cruise:
​
Thailand still counts some of the best dive sites in the world and this trip offers just the very best of Thailand over the weekend! This itinerary allows you to dive the best dive sites in just a weekend!
​
  • Day 1: Meeting time in our Dive Shop from 7.00-9.00 where we will have time to try wetsuits before we go to our boat MV Smiling Seahorse.
  • (PS there is an early flight from Bangkok with NOKAIR reaching Ranong on time).
​We will leave from Ranong around 10.00. It’s also possible to get picked up at Koh Phayam around 12.00. After everybody is on board we will leave to Surin Island, where we will be able to do our check up dive, before a night dive. 
  • Day 2: Richelieu Rock, is always listed in the top 10 dive sites in the world! It can be described as a big aquarium. Here we find more or less everything … ​Richelieu Rock is one of the places in Thailand  to see Whale Shark but also seahorses, ghost pipe fish, harlequin shrimps and plenty of kinky cuttlefish action. We will make 3 day dives here and 1 sunset dive followed by our infamous BBQ night...!​

Surin Islands, Tachai and Richelieu rock with The Smiling SeahorseDiving
Review: 5, based on 139 reviews "Surin Islands, Tachai and Richelieu rock Diving with The Smiling Seahorse with The Smiling Sea Horse" by , written on December 03, 2020
My wife and I intended to dive the Andamans for quite some time now. One reason for which we kept postponing was that in general the liveaboards leave from Khao Luk, which for us meant taking an expensive flight from Bangkok to Phuket. We were very happy to find out that The Smiling Horse liveaboard starts its trips from Ranong, a much nicer and quieter city in our opinion, easy accessible from Bangkok by plane at a cheaper price. Our diving trip was amazing. We were the only boat in usually crowded places such as Richelieu Rock, Tachai or Ko Bon. Lots of fish, good visibility for most of the trip, great food. The thing I personally liked the best is that nitrox is available on board. With daily dives at over 23 meters, and a total of 10 dives spread over a 3 day period of time, nitrox becomes an important safety factor. And a good way to prolong the bottom time a little bit and enjoy the exceptional marine environment the Andamans have to offer. The liveaboard has great staff and experienced dive leads. We stayed in the master cabin, a comfy room with its own private bathroom. Many thanks to Franck and Camille, the owners as well as to all the crew involved in creating a great experience for us.
