Somboon IV - Liveaboard


The Somboon Fleet of Liveaboards is the most flexible of all the Similan Liveaboards and with Somboon IV you can get to the Similan for as little as two awesome nights or stay as long as ten nights on an extended Similan adventure including Richelieu Rock. The Somboon IV differs slightly from its sister ship the Somboon III as boat four provides the added benefit of diving Richelieu Rock, Koh Tacha and Koh Bon two times per week on Wednesday's and Sundays. So you can join this boat five days a week while it is based at the Similan and escape to Richelieu Rock for some Whale Shark spotting.

To dive the famous Richelieu Rock you must book a minimum of three days. But when you take a look at the amazing prices for such a world class dive site you will find it hard not to stay longer and you can be as flexible as you wish booking four, five, six or seven nights or more to capture the best creatures in the ocean.

The Somboon IV is a large vessel catering for up to 28 guests onboard and it is recommended mostly for advanced divers. The food is fantastic and the crew great fun to be around. There are lots of extra opportunities onboard such as photography snap shots of your diving from your tour leader offered on disc for you to take away and remember.
It's also one of the few Liveaboards we provide a transfer to early mornings as most Liveaboards set sail in the evening requiring the additional traveling time but with this boat stationed where the action is the whole time it provides a unique experience for any level of diver.

Somboon IV Liveaboard is for the diver looking for adventure and friendship from nationalities from all over the world gathering at the Similan Islands in Thailand for likeminded diving experiences.

Somboon IV dives around the Similans every day of the week except Wednesdays and Sundays when she goes up to Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock for the day. In order to visit Richelieu Rock you need to do a minimum of 3 days / 2 nights on Somboon IV, spanning a Wednesday or Sunday. You cannot get on or off the boat on Sunday or Wednesday but you can on all other days of the week.

The Somboon IV Liveaboard offers a very flexible dive itinerary and dive guides will assess diver certification to advise on the best dives sites for their certification level.

Destination: From October to May the Somboon IV Liveaboard travels to Similan Islands and Koh Bon, Koh Tachai & Richelieu Rock departing from Thap Lamu just north of Phuket in Thailand
