M/V Explorer accommodates up to
16 guests in 8 Twin-Bunk cabins over
the lower and main decks and has 3  
toilets with fresh water showers on the
main deck. The saloon area on the
upper deck provides a spacious,
comfortable area for meals and to relax
between dives. It has a TV/DVD and CD
player for evening entertainment. There is a large sundeck above the
saloon and a pleasant area on the bow of the boat  to keep the suntan
on track for your journey home !
It has a good sized dive deck with well spaced tanks providing ample
space should the boat be full.
The crew are largely Thai and provide excellent on-board service with a
wealth of local knowledge both above and below the water. The food is
of a high standard serving a combination of Thai and Western dishes.
This is essentially a budget Live-aboard offering basic but comfortable
accommodation with good food and a relaxed, yet professional
atmosphere. It is a popular boat and a consistently high performer in
Phuket and offers good value for money. The schedule is for 4 Day / 4
Night Live-aboards departing by minibus from Phuket on the evening
of departure and then to Tab Lamu to board the boat for an overnight
cruise to The Similan Islands.
