MV Daranee
Cheap liveaboard Phuket
Daranee is a cheap liveaboard that has been serving Phuket divers well for years, she was one of the original Phuket liveaboards to start diving the Similan Islands.
Daranee runs standard 4 day 4 night (14 dive) trips to the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock.
