What level of diver is this trip for?

All levels, Andaman reef and pinnacle diving. Not sure if it's the right fit? Niki will talk it through with you.

Can I still do this trip?

This was a past SXT departure to Thailand (Phuket & the Similan Islands). We run adventures like it regularly, so contact us about the next departure or a custom version designed for your own group.

Is this good for solo travelers?

Absolutely. SXT trips attract friendly, like-minded travelers, and many guests arrive solo and leave with a whole new crew of dive buddies.

Do you handle flights and logistics?

Yes. SXT concierge takes care of flights, transfers, documents, and the little details, so all you have to do is show up and soak it in.

Why you will love this trip

What makes this trip special, and why travelers choose to come back.

Similan Islands granite and soft coral

Dramatic granite boulders rise above the Andaman Sea and plunge below it into swim-throughs and boulder gardens blanketed in soft coral. Days of drifting warm, clear water with abundant fish life.

Richelieu Rock and big visitors

The legendary horseshoe-shaped pinnacle out in the open sea is blanketed in purple soft coral and famous for exactly the right reason: whale sharks and mantas appear here with striking regularity, and every drop carries electric possibility.

Phuket warmth and street food

The island provides the perfect bookend to the liveaboard week. Street food, smiles, and warmth ease the transition from life at sea back to the real world.
