Smiling Seahorse

The Smiling Seahorse brings a traditional Similan/Thai feel and genuinely personalized service to diving across Thailand, "The Land of Smiles", and Myanmar. As a PADI dive boat offering enriched air (Nitrox), it's geared toward divers who want to explore the warm, clear waters of the Andaman Sea in small, well-supported groups.

Where you'll dive

The true treasures here lie around the Similan Islands, Richelieu Rock, and the Surin Islands, where the waters draw large schools of tropical fish, manta rays, and the awe-inspiring whale shark. Whether you're building experience or chasing big-animal encounters, these remote sites deliver the kind of variety that keeps divers coming back.

This isn't a luxury option, and it doesn't pretend to be — instead it ticks the boxes for a budget-conscious trip with a friendly, sociable atmosphere throughout. Onboard comforts include warm-water showers, a battery charging station, and a shelf of fish ID and diving books for brushing up between dives. Crew and guests communicate in English, French, and Thai, making it an easy fit for international divers.
