Similan Quest is a liveaboard diving boat unlike most others. Instead of having set trips lengths, you can join on any day of the diving season and stay on board as long as you choose. This is because Similan Quest is a flexible/platform liveaboard boat that stays at sea, and guests are transferred by speedboat at the start & end of their trip. The main boat doesn’t stay in one place, though. Instead it moves around The Similan Islands & Koh Bon on a weekly schedule. That means that divers visit different locations for almost every dive. The boat is excellent value, focussing on safe & enjoyable diving with experienced staff & crew.
There are two cabin types on Similan Quest. These are four double-bed cabins & five twin cabins, and all are air conditioned. The double cabins are on the boat’s upper deck. In addition to sea-view windows, they have doors which open out onto the deck. This gives more privacy and a wonderful welcome every morning to the Similan Islands. Also on the boat’s upper deck is the large dining area. Here, you can enjoy delicious food that is served buffet style. There are plenty of tables and seating for everyone on board, including guests who are just diving for a day trip.
On Similan Quest’s main deck there are the twin cabins, which have a side-by-side configuration (not bunk) and a partition that gives each guest extra privacy. This deck is also home to the kitchen, a storage area and three communal bathrooms. At the rear of the main deck is the dive platform. The dive platform has plenty of space for everyone to store & put on or take off their gear, and to safely walk to the rear of the boat.
Similan Quest is 25 metres long and 5.3 metres wide, powered by two 300hp Hino engines. She’s easily safe, stable and comfortable enough to offer wonderful diving cruises to some of Thailand’s best dive sites. In most cases, divers jump off the back of the boat and return to its ladder at the end of each dive. If you surface further away, the motorized dinghy can collect you. The dinghy is also used to take guests to the wonderful beaches of Similan Islands #8 & #4. If diving in a shallow area, the speedboat can also be used. Unlike most other Similan liveaboards, guests on Similan Quest can choose between a night dive and a sunset dive. Usually, flexible boats only offer a sunset dive.
SDI & PADI diving courses are available on Similan Quest. Please contact us for further details.

Itinerary
Similan Quest Itinerary
Similan Quest has several itinerary lengths and each day of the week is different. Therefore, it’s important to check the schedule for the days of the week of your chosen trip. In all cases, on the first day you leave Khao Lak by speedboat and join 3 dives (10.00am, 1.00pm & sunset or night dive). On the final day there are 3 dives (7.00am, 10.00am & 1.00pm) before returning to Khao Lak by speedboat. Guests staying for 3 or 4 days enjoy all 4 dives on each ‘middle day’ of their trip.
Beach visits are not possible at Koh Bon (no beach). On days when Similan Quest is at the Similan Islands, beach visits are sometime possible on most days, but we never promise. This is because so many factors affect the ability and decision whether or not to visit the beach. These factors include the exact location of the boat and its next dive site, how crowded the beach may be, the time of day, and if the the boat needs to be somewhere else to fill up with fresh water.
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.

Great trip! We spent two days and one night on the boat and wished we could've stayed for longer!! Easy booking process with Jamie (make sure you clarify total price beforehand as those listed do not always include rental and park fees) and Peter
was great kitting us out the night before. The boat crew run a slick operation, the food is delicious, and all the dive crew are fantastic. The boat can get a little busy during the day with day divers but everyone is super helpful and you typically only dive with your buddy and a couple of others in a small group. Night dive was also amazing!...read more

I have to say that everything until the diving day was phenomenal (support from Jamie from Just Bubbles no Troubles, attention in gear(equipment selection from Peter) including the transfer and organisation at the peer. On the boat itself, it was ve
ry confusing (each diver took whatever gear was available), my diving group was too big (7 divers for 2 dive masters) and the descend briefing was unclear. As such I missed the first of the 2 dives of the day. The second dive was ok...read more

On Similan Quest’s main deck there are the twin cabins, which have a side-by-side configuration (not bunk) and a partition that gives each guest extra privacy. This deck is also home to the kitchen, a storage area and three communal bathrooms. At the rear of the main deck is the dive platform. The dive platform has plenty of space for everyone to store & put on or take off their gear, and to safely walk to the rear of the boat.
