Nemo 2 shuttles divers to its sister boat MV Nemo 1. This way, you get the best of both worlds. You can reach the dive sites quickly but still dive from, relax & enjoy lunch on a brand-new large dive boat that is far more comfortable. It’s perfect! The owners of Nemo 1 & 2 are extremely experienced in diving from Koh Lak to Thailand’s best dive sites. 100% Swiss owned, the day trips run like clockwork – the world’s best clockwork. Please note that you need to stay in Khao Lak, not Phuket, the night before your Nemo 2 day trip.

Enjoying the best of both world's is the ideal way to go daytrip diving at The Similan Islands. Guests can stay in a Khao Lak hotel, then around two hours later be on a large & luxurious scuba diving liveaboard that is floating in crystal-clear tropical water. The speedboat journey is around an hour, depending on the exact destination and the sea conditions. Once you arrive on Nemo 1 (brand new in 2017), you can grab a bite to eat before the briefing and first dive. After the dive, a proper sit-down lunch is served, and then relax on this large, purpose-built diving liveaboard. The necessary-length surface interval can include some snorkelling, sunbathing or socialising with other guests. Then after dive #2 it's time to jump back on the speedboat and return to Khao Lak. Most other Similan diving day trips involve everyone staying on the speedboat or catamaran for the whole day, which isn't as comfortable, especially when it's time to eat or there are some waves.

Diving takes place at the best dive sites of the central and northern Similan Islands from Wednesday to Sunday, and Koh Bon on Mondays & Koh Tachai on Tuesdays. Only the very best and special dive sites are repeated, ensuring that everyone gets to see something new and different. Snorkelling guests are welcome at discounted prices, and a good day’s safe fun is almost guaranteed. The whole day is extremely well-organised but in a way that allows everyone to safely enjoy the diving, dining, travelling and picturesque views.

Being Swiss owned & run, the Nemo team like to make sure that everything goes according to plan and on time, from the first day of the season to the last. Because of this, it's important for all guests to stay in Khao Lak the night before your Nemo 2 day trip, and to 'check in' at the dive centre before 7pm the day before. This enables the team to sort everything out, such as equipment sizes, checking certification cards, and signing a little paperwork.

Nemo 2 guests need to stay in Khao Lak (not Phuket) the night before.

Itinerary

Nemo 2 Itinerary

Each day on Nemo 2 has the same itinerary with regards to timing. Only the diving locations are different.

To be fair to all other guests joining Nemo daytrips, the driver cannot wait for anyone who is late for their pickup. The dive centre owners pride themselves on punctuality and professionalism. They are only able to provide this if guests abide by the pickup times. Guest who are not on time will be considered a ‘no show.’

the weekly schedule for Nemo 2's destinations is as follows

Monday : Dive #1 at Koh Bon Ridge / Dive #2 at Koh Bon Reef
Tuesday : Dive #1 at Koh Tachai Pinnacle / Dive #2 at Koh Tachai South Reef
Wednesday : Dive #1 at Christmas Point / Dive #2 at Breakfast Bend
Thursday : Dive #1 at Eagle Rock / Dive #2 at North Point
Friday : Dive #1 at Elephant Head Rock / Dive #2 at Deep Six
Saturday : Dive #1 at West of Eden / Dive #2 at Anita's Reef
Sunday : Dive #1 at Turtle Rock / Dive #2 at Three Trees

Itineraries can be seen below this text.

The itineraries below are the most-common for each trip, but these can sometimes be changed for a number of reasons. Small changes are made due to weather & sea conditions, special marine life sightings, overcrowded dive sites, local-authorities' instructions, and the needs & requests of the paying guests. The safety & comfort of all guests is most important at all times.

Boat rating: 7/10

Nice dive shop with prompt, organized, and safety-first staff. The Nemo 2 speedboat was comfortable and fast, and the dive boat was clean and orderly with a helpful crew, good cook, friendly guides, and comfortable space for dive briefings, resting d uring dive interval, and room for gear. One individual in my dive group had faulty rental equipment on our dive which caused a slightly shortened dive for our group. That being said, my equipment was fine and seemed to be fully functional. Only a couple of hiccups in communication between Jamie (No Troubles Just Bubbles), Dive Shop staff, and actual dive crew: I didn't get a t-shirt as promised when I went to the dive shop (not a huge deal, but would have been good to know). Also, I had asked whether towels would be provided on the boat or not. The dive shop said yes so I didn't bring one, but when I got to boat, they said they only gave towels to overnight guests, not day-trip guests. This was not major, just odd, but we eventually scrounged up a towel to share after asking around on the boat. The diving was easy and warm water was great (no wetsuit), lots of small tropical fish, Christmas tree worms, and a few soft corals--overall pleasant but nothing spectacular in the rocky reefs. Also the boat doesn't allow you to go on land and see the beautiful white-sand beaches (due to timing), so that was kind of a bummer but you can't do everything in a day trip. Next time an overnight stay would probably be better as you have time to do much more. ...read more

The response, service level, arrangements and follow up by Jamie was the best experience for me. Ever. Our flight was delayed and Jamie was on hand to ensure the Dive Centre stayed opened while we rushed there. The next day pick-ups, dives and DM was top notch! Highly recommended and will definitely use them again. Good job guys ...read more
