Our Liveaboard Boat
ake a look at Phuket Diving Safaris’ fully equipped scuba diving liveaboard boat, the M/V Dolphin Queen – we have everything you need to fully enjoy your time diving in the Similan Islands
Live-aboard M/V DOLPHIN QUEEN was built in 1999. It has a wooden hull, and this means less sound from the engine room. Dolphin Queen has 3 decks.

The main deck has 8 cabins for our guests. All cabins are air conditioned. There are 2 more cabins with double beds on the upper deck. All cabins have 220v plugs, so you can charge your camera battery packs or your lights.
| Top Deck Cabin interior Sleeps 2 – Main Deck Cabin is the same |

On the main deck at the stern is the dive platform which has more than ample room to store and put on your gear. There are also 2 Bauer compressors with an air cooler and 40 tanks. Close at hand are our 3 boat crew, who are there to help you gear up and help you on your dive entry and exit. The crew fill the tanks so all you do is dive. There are 3 spacious toilets with showers and 2 showers on the dive deck.
The galley is also on the main deck. The food is prepared by the cook and her assistant who can cater for special needs.
The upper deck is where you can find the wheel house (captains quarters) at the bow. At the stern is the spacious eating area. Here you can help yourself with coffee, tea, water, electrolight drinks throughout the day and night, as well as fruits which are always on the table.
The sun deck gives you room to stretch out and relax on our comfy recliners. Remember to put on lots of sun cream!
Breakfast is European style: we serve brown bread, omelettes, fried eggs, sausages, corn flakes, muesli, fruits, and fresh ground coffee or Nescafe. We keep real milk on board too. Lunch and Dinner are served with traditional Thai food. We cater for Vegetarians, just tell us your needs.
We also have a TV so any videos made on the trip can be reviewed, or you can watch a movie. There is also a stereo so you can relax with some of your favourite CDs.
Boat charters are available. Contact us for more details.
