A Warm Welcome to Similan Liveaboard
Guests joining the Similan liveaboard are advised to arrive at the PADI 5-Star Dive Center in Khao Lak by 2:00 PM on the day of departure for an equipment check, payment settlement, and, if needed, to purchase online dive insurance from DAN. At 4:00 PM, the minibus departs from Similan Diving Safaris to Thap Lamu Pier, located 14 km away.
Upon arrival at the pier around 4:30 PM, guests board the Dolphin Queen and are introduced to the dive staff and boat crew. After settling into their cabins, a full briefing on the boat operations, rules, and safety procedures is provided.
Before dinner, divers are encouraged to assemble and check their equipment with their Similan dive guide in preparation for the first dive the following morning. The Dolphin Queen departs at around 6:30 PM, cruising overnight toward the Similan Islands. Traveling by night allows guests to rest and wake up refreshed for a full day of exceptional diving experiences.
