This is a unique liveaboard that offers a great diving experience in a short period. Unlike other trips, two liveaboard vessels cruise around the dive sites and speedboats take customers to and from them every day. If you depart on a Tues, Weds, Sat or Sun, you can get to the world-famous Richelieu Rock on a 3-day 2-night schedule with 11 dives. Suitable for both beginners and experienced divers who only have a short holiday.
The world-famous dive site Richelieu Rock is 100km north of the Similan Islands. It used to only be accessible on 4 day 4 night liveaboard trips. Unlike other services, the Andaman Short Cruise includes a speedboat that travels between the mainland and the liveaboard vessel on dive sites, so it's now possible to visit Richelieu Rock in 3 days and 2 nights. Now you can explore the full range of the Andaman Sea, even on a short holiday.
The speedboat departs at 8:30 am and you'll be in the water around 10:30. You can dive 11 times, even on a 2 night trip (includes 1 night dive). You can also add extra nights and stay on board as long as you want.
