Please call or email for current schedule and prices

LIVEABOARD BOOKING REQUEST »

Phuket & Langkawi, Thailand & Mergul, Similan & Surin liveaboards

Dive throughout the archipelago. 4d /5n , 7d/8n , 8d/9n cruises.

Selection of dive sites:

High Rock, Stuart Island, Rocky Island 1, Burma Banks, Three Stooges, Black Rock, Lampi Island, "Salet Galet", Orange Rock, West Canister, Similan, Surin, Richeliue Rock, Koh Bon, Ko Tachai.

M/V Faah Yai

A very comfortable boat specializing in four and eight day trips to the Mergui Archipelago and Burma Banks. Takes 10 guests, leaving from Ranong (North on mainland Thailand) so you get the maximum time on the dive sites.

 

MV Faah Yai was built in 1996 as a private dive yacht, and converted in 1998 to a liveaboard diving vessel.

Providing cruises, the advantages are obvious, direct access via Thap Lamu and Ranong, shorter cruising times, more dives, less stress and the advantage of sailing further North (Cabusa islands) then any other MV currently operating from Phuket.

Faah Yai's layout allows her to accommodate 10 guests in 5 en-suite cabins. There is 1 master state room (1 double bed with breakfast room service), 3 double/twin-sharing cabins (1 double bed with single bunk overhead), and 1 twin sharing cabin (single bunks). All have: individually controlled air con, large private bathroom, en-suite facilities.

The Salon is equipped with TV, Video Entertainment and much more.

Faah Yai has a very comfortable classic style about her, an excellent very experienced crew, and is very seaworthy. The perfect boat for join-in cruises or full-boat charters.

DIVE CENTER NEWS (updated 3 September 2010)

Oceanic Dive Center Celebrates 10 years

We're proud to show off our certificate from PADI recognising Oceanic's ten years as a PADI 5* IDC Center in Phuket.

Click on the thumbnail above to see a larger version.

Welcome to our latest Divemaster Trainee

We'd like to extend a warm welcome Line H. R. Andersen, seen here about to enter the water during her PADI Rescue Diver course in August with her instructor Keith Douglas.

 

Line (pronounced Lena) comes from Denmark and plans to join the Danish Navy next year. In the meantime, she's embarking on her Divemaster course with us at Oceanic and intends to stay with us for the coming high season to become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.

We wish you luck Line, and hope you feel at home in Phuket!

 

 

Day Trips for diving and snorkling around Phuket every day.

Just because the Similan Islands have closed for their annual rest period there's no reason to think you can't get some great dives in. Our local dive sites are getting better and better now: Shark Point, King Cruiser Wreck, Koh Dok Mai, Phi Phi, and Anemone Reef are all boasting fewer divers and therefore more fish. Our resident blacktip sharks are back at Bida Nai (near Koh Phi Phi) after their long winter holidays and some lucky divers saw a manta ray at Racha Yai at the end of August. To book your dive trip or for more information, contact us through info@oceanicdivecenter.com
