Diving Adventures in Thailand: Ocean Rover

Phuket, Ocean Rover’s homeport, is the gateway to some of the world's most varied and amazing diving. Let the crew show you the treasures of the Andaman Sea. Ocean Rover are the pioneers of liveaboard diving in this part of the world and was the first to dive many locations that are now world-famous dive sites.

The crew excel in finding small and rare marine life specimens that are hidden to the untrained eye and are happy to show you how to photograph these creatures without destroying the coral.

Departing from the Chalong Bay Tourist Pier, Phuket you will head north to dive Ko Tachai, possibly Ko Bon, the Surin Islands area and Richelieu Rock before heading for the Myanmar border. The next four to five days are spent exploring the Mergui Archipelago (Western Rocky, Three Islets, Fanforest Pinnacle, North Twin, High Rock, possibly Black Rock, etc.) and the Burma Banks. Eventually the boat makes its way back to Kawthaung, where you will check out of Myanmar in the evening, and then head back into Thai waters.

The next day starts with several dives at Richelieu Rock, followed by Ko Tachai, possibly Ko Bon, the Bangsak Wreck, and finally the Similans. You will spend the last day diving in the Similans (last dive surfaces approx. 15:00hrs) before returning to Chalong Bay, Phuket late that evening. Passengers sleep on-board and disembark the next morning at approx. 07:00hrs.
