Enriched air on the Junk The Junk has always been one of the most popular liveaboards for hard core divers. It has the best dive guides and they let you dive how you want to dive. No arbitrary dive time limitations, dive as many times per day as you safely can, dive independently and so […]

She’s 26m long and takes 22 guests. Nitrox is available. Divers can be collected from Phuket or Khao Lak. MV […]
Guest feedback from Oktavia Have a look at this customer survey from Oktavia. The guests seem pretty happy! We’ve had great feedback from Oktavia all season, even from a French diver who unluckily broke her ankle a few days before her trip.

There are some excellent places to snorkel at the islands close to Phuket or […]
The Junk Similan Islands video As promised here is some footage from last week’s trip on The Junk including a pretty large whale shark. The whaleshark appears 4.24mins into the clip. This video was filmed by Randy Travis who is rapidly making a name for himself as a Phuket’s top underwater videographer.

Divers are always saying stuff to me like, “I’m going on a liveaboard next week, what’s the diving like at the moment?” Keith, the long time Junk tour leader commented, “Came back from the second junk trip of the season at the weekend and what a trip. Great guests, […]
Update 2015: Saimai is no longer running as a dive charter liveaboard Here is a short promo video for the MV SaiMai taken last week on a trip to Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Koh Haa and Phi Phi. The diver is me! The video was shot by Randy Travis, a pro underwater videographer in Phuket. I […]
The weather in the Andaman sea is perfect at the moment. The sea is flat and the sun is shining. The forecast for November is for more of the same. So with that in mind MV Oktavia have added Richelieu Rock and Koh Tachai to their 4 day 4 night trips in early November. Previously […]
MV Hallelujah was blessed by a Buddhist monk on it’s relaunch this week. I hope he prayed for Manta Rays and Whale Sharks.
