MV Gentle Giant Liveaboard 7D/6N 22 Dives
The Best of the Andaman
(Asia Marina - Thap Lamu)
LIVEABORD ITINERARY Start - B 42,000

MV Gentle Giant offers a unique diving itinerary that no one else does and only 6 yearly trips. Most of the divers must have already been familiar with the famous Similan Islands which are located in the North Andaman Sea, but do you know that the South Andaman Sea also has some fantastic dive sites such as Koh Haa, Hin Daeng, and Hin Muang? It is becoming more well-known and popular in the past few years among divers. Giant pelagic such as whale shark and manta can also be spotted from time to time. Coral reefs and fish life are still healthy due to fewer boats that visit here. To make our trip unique and special, we run trips to both North and South Andaman in just one single trip (Similan, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock, Phi Phi, Koh Haa, Hin Daeng Hin Muang, King Cruiser Wreck and so on). Our trip normally takes 7 days and 6 nights with a total of 22 dives.
