Thailand Liveaboards

With marine biodiversity now declared fully recovered, divers will discover diverse and prolific fish life, including large schools of anthias, damselfish, butterflyfish, and angelfish schooling over healthy colorful coral formations and gently sloping reefs. Dramatic rock formations on the west side of the islands create a fascinating underwater topography of tunnels, caves, and swim-throughs. Nutrient-rich currents encourage vast populations of gorgonians, soft corals, and crinoids. Manta rays and whale sharks are frequent visitors between December and April.
