Scuba Cat Liveaboard. |
M/V
Scubacat cruises around the Similan Islands between mid
November and the beginning of May. We run transfers to and
from the boat every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
M/V Scuba Cat is an ideal dive platform. The designed in
stability of a very large catamaran boat operating amongst
the protected waters of the Similans makes this the most
"friendly" boat to be found-seasickness is rare.
This truly is a boat for people who don't like boats and
is an excellent choice for someone's first liveaboard experience.
With the efficiency of the operation and convenience of
diving we are able to offer up to five dives a day for those
who wish. In keeping with our philosophy of a relaxed atmosphere,
we are happy to drop guests of on the beach, provide ocean
kayaks for your enjoyment as well as arrange our famous
sunset volleyball game. Non divers are most welcome and
are sure to enjoy the variety of activities available.
The M/V Scuba Cat is without a doubt the most comfortable
and stable diving platform touring the Similan Islands.
Our Divers can gear up in spacious surroundings and enter
the water six abreast. So the Day is over and the sun is
setting. Could it really be any better than this? |
