MV Bavaria is a new Similan diving liveaboard that was designed and built in 2017 to offer the best comfort, safety and value for its diving cruises. The boat is just the right size, and has the perfect number and range of guest cabins, to ensure that everyone on board can enjoy some of the best liveaboard diving in Thailand. Up to 24 guests can join trips from three to six days in length to the best diving sites of Thailand. The Burma/Myanmar diving safaris are 6 days and nights (currently not possible due to political unrest and Covid travel restrictions).
No more than two guests stay in each air-conditioned cabin, most of which have private en-suite bathrooms, and the boat has lots of space in its communal areas, including a small air-conditioned lounge saloon. At 28 metres in length, MV Bavaria is the ideal size to offer the best-value diving cruises in Thailand & Myanmar without sacrificing comfort or safety. The boat was designed by its owner, who is an experienced scuba diving professional from Germany. Therefore, everything from the size & layout of the diving platform to facilities & cabin amenities is ideal for scuba divers who want to enjoy a Burma or Similan liveaboard diving cruise for three to six days. For the 2022-2023 season, there are some trips to Thailand's South Andaman area, including Koh Haa, Hin Daeng and Koh Lipe.
Guest cabins on Bavaria are all air conditioned and each has its own temperature controller. This may not sound special, but some other Similan diving liveaboard boats have air-conditioned cabins but the temperature is centrally controlled. The boat’s main deck has eight cabins, which are six ‘Comfort Cabins’ with twin beds, plus two ‘Deluxe Cabins’ at the front of the boat. All have private en-suite bathrooms & windows. The lower deck has two more ‘Comfort Cabins’ that have double beds and private bathrooms. The best-value cabins on Bavaria are the twin-bunk cabins on the upper deck, which use shared bathroom facilities. When designing a boat, making the best use of space is very important. Luxury Similan liveaboard boats have large air-conditioned saloons, but these are often empty most of the time. Guests usually socialise, eat & relax outside. Bavaria has an air-conditioned lounge saloon with a large television & other electrical equipment, but this room doesn’t take away space from the outdoor dining area, where briefings are held and guests spend most of their time. Bavaria’s covered outdoor area is easily large enough for all its guests to sit in comfort to eat, socialise or listen to a dive briefing. Delicious food is served throughout the day, and this consists of local & western cuisine. Vegetarians won’t go hungry, and special dietary needs can be catered for with advance notice. Of course, there is a large sundeck on top of Bavaria, where guests can sunbathe or gaze at the star-filled night sky. Up on the sundeck there are some more sofas as well.
Being a modern purpose-built Similan diving liveaboard, Bavaria has a large and well-planned diving platform, which uses new machinery (including a Nitrox membrane), a motorized tender dinghy, and set locations for each diver’s equipment. Tanks are filled silently and the gear prepared for the next dive while the guests eat, relax or discuss the diving.

MV Bavaria Courses
A selection of PADI diving courses are available on Bavaria. Sometimes, it’s possible to decide to take a course after checking in, but mostly it’s necessary to pre-book, so that we can prepare the materials and/or staff. The most-popular diving courses for liveaboard diving in Thailand are the PADI Advanced (AOWC) and PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox), but several other courses are normally available if we know before you arrive.

MV Bavaria Transfer Details
To complete a little paperwork and fit any rental equipment, it’s necessary to ‘check in’ at the dive centre in Khao Lak before departure. This does not apply for South Andaman trips, as the check-in can be performed on board.
For similan trips, transfers are available from around Khao Lak or we can help you with a taxi from Phuket hotels and the airport. Please let us know your plans before the trip so that we can help you. Please also don’t forget that you must not fly within 24 hours after your final dive.
But for South Andaman trips, the transfers are only from Phuket.
Guests need to ‘check in’ at the PADI dive centre in Khao Lak before departure. The check in time depends on which trip you plan to join. It’s necessary to check in so that any equipment can be fitted, a few forms need signing, and national park fees can be paid.
Divers joining 3D/3N or 6D/6N (Similan) trips in Thailand should arrive at the dive centre in Khao Lak before 4.30pm on departure day.
Divers joining 4D/3N trips need to 'check in' the day before departure because they are collected in the morning by the transfer team and taken directly to the boat.
Divers joining trips into Myanmar/Burma should arrive the day before departure for check in, then before 9.00am on departure day.
In addition, the preparation for Burma trips includes passport scans at least 6 weeks before the trip.
For customers who would like a private taxi please see below for details.
(Click below for a rough guide to the rates you can expect to pay ‘per vehicle,’ not ‘per person’.)

My husband & I went diving for 4 days/3 nights. It was an amazing experience both the dive, the boat, the staff & just the overall way the trip & daily schedule was organized. I had never been on a liveaboard & you feel completely spoiled by how much
nicer the experience is vs taking a day boat out diving. Also we saw beautiful coral, sharks, a turtle, an octopus, barracuda, seahorse & more schooling fish then I've ever seen before.

We can recommend the trips with MV Bavaria. The boat infrastructure is really good for diving. The crew is fantastic and the food was always delicious (vegetarian or specific food options available)

I had a fantastic stay on board the MV Bavaria. 6 days/6 nights. Similan to Richelieu Rock. Super crew, very helpful, perfect procedures - no hectic. Boat very well equipped. Food excellent.
The only disadvantage - for me - was my cabin. Directly be
hind the engine room. I would spend more money next time. Because this tour is definitely worth it.
Big thanks to Jamie, he saved my holiday :-)

I contacted Jamie so that he could find me the best boat for a trip the Similans and/or Richelieu rock, on quite short notice, and he delivered. Showed me all the actually available options – important because not all boats that offered trips were
actually going due to low occupancy, and since I had special requests. Saved me a lot of time doing the inquiries on my own, otherwise.
The boat I picked (MV Bavaria) was also a good choice. Had a fun staff, with an amazing underwater photographer, and I was able to get my Advanced PADI and a Nitrox certification alongside. Everything went well beyond my expectations.
I don't give this a 10-star rating because that's reserved to once-in-a-lifetime experiences for me, but there was really nothing wrong on this trip!

🙋♂️ to all my diving friends and buddies and all other divers I would highly recommend you take advantage of the current unique circumstances (non or low overseas mass tourist arrivals) and to take a liveaboard diving
trip to the Similan and Surin Islands (Khao Lak, Andaman Sea)
🤿 Awesome diving, sea and marine conditions are pristine and near perfect with masses of fish, marine life and corals... the highlight was spotting a black tip reef shark.
Clear waters Vis 30m+
⛴ First Class Boat the MV Bavaria is the best liveaboard, top quantity, new modern design purpose built, spacious, comfortable, gourmet food and beverages and top services provided by the very attentive boat crew and dive instructors, nothing was too much trouble at any time.
👬 I met wonderful friendly people and new friends we were all relaxed and had a great time together on the boat between and during dives.
🔥 Even better is the value for money, current liveaboard trip prices are greatly reduced from normal times and you can get a great deal now.
⭐️ Overall I would this rate this trip as outstanding 11/10

Excellent liveaboard, run very professionally, it has everything a diver needs on board. Diving organization is great. Food is plentiful and quite tasty. Almost everything is perfect. But there is one problem. Some of the dive guides (I dived with tw
o) are not the best ones. Actually, they were worse than most guides I ever dived with. I can't write all the details here since review length limit is too short. The detailed review is here: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g297914-d8861447-r787179116-Loma_Diving_Adventure-Khao_Lak_Phang_Nga_Province.html. Short version is this: Bavaria guides I dived with are very passionate about small creatures like nudi branches and slugs, and think everyone else is also interested in them. Sometimes I had to swim around and wait for the guide to get a good look at some small creature which you literally can't see without a microscope. I think most divers, me included, are more interested in larger sea creatures. My trip was still great, but it's also because other, regular divers in my group showed me things a guide actually should have showed.

Had a great dive trip on the Bavaria. From setting the trip up with Jamie to the dive boat and the dive crew and of course the diving itself. Jamie was very helpful in setting things up and very quick to respond anytime we had questions. The dive boa
t was modern and accommodations on board were comfortable and clean. The crew was great and very helpful. Our divemaster/guide Marco was very accommodating and showed us lots of neat things underwater. The food was delicious and kept us energized. The diving was excellent. Richelieu rock was absolutely an awesome dive site and lived up to its reputation. All in all I can recommend Jamie and his dive company as well as the MV Bavaria and diving in the Similans
