About Stingray

The Stingray offers a flexible way to explore Thailand's Similan Islands, welcoming just 8 guests across 4 en-suite cabins. Custom built for diving with a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, this liveaboard caters to both day-trippers and overnight guests, with itineraries you can tailor to suit your group.

Where you'll dive

Routes take in some of the Andaman's most celebrated waters, including the Similan Islands, Richelieu Rock, Koh Bon and Koh Tachai. Beneath the surface you'll find colourful coral reefs alive with butterflyfish, angelfish and parrotfish, while reef sharks, eagle rays and the occasional whale shark glide through the clear water. Keep watch, too, for octopuses, moray eels and rays. The season runs from mid-November to mid-May, when the marine national parks are open.

On board, snorkellers are just as welcome as divers. Comforts include air-conditioned cabins, warm-water showers, a sun deck, an indoor saloon and library, plus a camera station with a separate rinse for underwater gear. Nitrox is available free of charge, with a shaded dive deck and tenders for reaching the sites.
