Sawasdee Divers

Similan Islands, Thailand

Sawasdee Divers in the Similans? We’ve got a soft spot for them. They’re a long-standing outfit, and it shows in their smooth operations. We love that they run their own liveaboards, which means you’re often diving with the same crew and guides for your entire trip. It makes a real difference to the atmosphere on board, feeling more like a shared adventure than just a business transaction. Their specialisation leans heavily into multi-day trips, and honestly, that’s how you really experience the Similans. Day trips are fine, but you miss those quiet morning dives when the light is just starting to hit the bommies at Richelieu Rock, and the currents haven't quite picked up yet. We’ve had some truly magical encounters with manta rays and whale sharks there on early dives with Sawasdee, usually before the day boats from Phuket start rolling in. They’re a great choice if you’re looking to get your PADI certification done in an environment where you’ll feel truly looked after. Their instructors are seasoned, patient, and know these waters like the back of their hand. We'd suggest you book one of their longer liveaboard itineraries, say 4 days, to really get into the rhythm of island life and improve your skills without feeling rushed. You’ll leave feeling like you’ve been on a proper expedition, not just a few dives.
