For divers wanting to see the best dive sites in a short space of time, the 3D/2N trip is unbeatable, with 3 days diving at Bon, Tachai and Richelieu!

The MV Oktavia is the perfect Similan liveaboard to fit any diving holiday schedule. The 5D/5N schedule offers transfers halfway through the trip. Depart with Oktavia for just the first two nights in the Similans, or join the boat for three nights heading north to Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock.
The two day trip is also perfect for snorkellers. There are plenty of great spots to snorkel around the Similan Islands and Oktavia provides both a snorkel guide and fast chase dingy support. Oktavia may not have the luxuries of higher priced boats, but is comfortable, safe and suitable for all types, including families.
Oktavia’s flexible schedule caters to divers of all experience levels. The two day option is at easier Similan dive sites, ideal for novice divers or snorkellers. The three and five day option offers more advanced diving for the more experienced diver at Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock.
Do not worry if you feel you do not have the experience to complete the full five days. You will have plenty of practice at the easier sites first to build up your confidence. Oktavia features an ample sized dive deck. Dive groups are well organised and kept to a maximum of four divers per guide.
MV Oktavia is one of the largest Similan liveaboards, with plenty of room for guests on board. A large dining table and shaded lounge area are ideal for relaxing between dives. Additional places to relax are the shaded table and seating on the sun deck (along with mats for sunbathing) and in front of the captain’s cabin.
Just behind the Captain’s cabin, on the upper deck, are two large master cabins with en-suite bathrooms. This is well worth the additional surcharge if you fancy a touch more luxury and privacy on your Similan liveaboard trip. The boat’s size also makes her extremely sea worthy; sea sickness is rare on Oktavia.
