Similan liveaboard for divers and snorkelers
2 day 1 night Similan Islands
Most Similan liveaboards don’t cater well to snorkelers. The MV Koon1 is a good compromise for a less intensive dive trip that also includes snorkeling and beach excursions. This Similan Islands liveaboard is suitable for OW certified divers and snorkelers. It’s ideal for couples where one is a snorkeler and one is a diver.
