MV AQUA Overview
MV Aqua is a purpose-built steel liveaboard offering divers the chance to explore the Andaman Sea in comfort and style. At 32 metres long and 6.5 metres wide, Aqua is designed for stability and plenty of onboard space. The vessel accommodates up to 24 guests across 12 air-conditioned cabins, each featuring an en-suite bathroom for maximum convenience and privacy. Accommodation options include two spacious master cabins, three deluxe cabins, four standard cabins, and three standard cabins on the lower deck, so every guest can find the perfect fit for their needs and budget.
Onboard, you’ll find inviting communal areas that make it easy to relax between dives. There’s a large, well-organized dive deck for hassle-free gearing up and storage, as well as a comfortable indoor lounge for unwinding after a day of adventure. Meals are a highlight of the experience, with a mix of delicious Thai and international dishes served buffet-style in the covered dining area. The sun deck is ideal for soaking up ocean views, enjoying the sea breeze, or catching up with fellow guests after another great day on the water.
MV Aqua’s main itineraries focus on the northern Andaman Sea, offering 5-day, 4-night trips to celebrated sites such as the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, and Richelieu Rock—some of Thailand’s top dive locations, renowned for their marine life, clear water, and beautiful coral reefs. From time to time, Aqua also runs southern trips that visit Koh Haa, Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Lipe, and Phi Phi, and the boat’s “Best of the Andaman” cruises offer an extended experience, combining highlights of both regions over six or seven nights.
Up-to-date schedules, prices, and current availability are always available on the Aqua tab of our Google Sheet. You can also browse a full gallery of boat and cabin photos, showing both the inviting common spaces and the range of cabin types, via our Dropbox album.
For the upcoming 2025–2026 season, all Nitrox-certified guests enjoy complimentary Nitrox fills, adding even more value to every trip. Bookings for MV Aqua are now open, and the standard terms, payment arrangements, and commission structure remain consistent with those for MV Gentle Giant and MV Raga. If you have any questions or would like advice about planning your diving holiday aboard MV Aqua, please contact us at any time. This is the perfect base for discovering Thailand’s best dive sites in comfort, safety, and style.
