Our Trip
Thailand is one of my favorite places in the world, and I'm so excited to share it with you. This adventure combines everything I love about travel: healthy oceans, vibrant culture, unforgettable food, breathtaking scenery, and meaningful experiences with an amazing group of people.
We'll spend several days exploring Phuket before boarding a liveaboard to dive the Similan Islands. Expect thriving coral reefs, dramatic granite boulder formations, healthy marine ecosystems, and abundant marine life as we complete up to 15 dives across some of Thailand's most celebrated underwater landscapes.
When we're not underwater, we'll experience the best of Thailand together through bustling local markets, a Thai cooking class, an ethical elephant sanctuary, beautiful beaches, incredible cuisine, and plenty of time to relax and explore Phuket.
Please note that this trip is designed for intermediate divers who are comfortable diving in currents and changing ocean conditions. Divers should have at least 25 logged Open Water dives. If you have 20 logged Open Water dives, you may still participate by completing your Advanced Open Water certification during the trip.
