Giamani

Update 2015. Giamani now takes just 10 divers in 4 deluxe cabins and one master cabin.

For the 2011/12 Thailand liveaboard season Giamani is only taking 12 divers instead of 16 as before. Previously the Deluxe double cabins could be used as triples (the cabins have a double bed plus a drop down bunk). From this season these cabins will only be sold as double or twin berths (not triples). Giamani has 4 Deluxe Double/Twin cabins plus 2 Standard twin cabins for a total of 12 berths.

Personally I much prefer diving on a liveaboard with a small group of divers, rather than a factory style dive boat  that pours divers onto a reef like bycatch from a fishing trawler.

Giamani has scheduled trips to the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock as well as south Andaman trips to Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Phi Phi and Koh Haa.

Although Giamani has no trips scheduled for Burma’s Mergui archipelago this season, she is still registered to dive in Myanmar waters and can be chartered by a group wanting to dive Burma.
