    Similan/Surin in a 3day trip???

    I can't find a trip going to Similans and Surin (Richelieu rock) that lasts only 2 night/3 night and 3 days. Does anyone know of someone who does this??

    Here's what I've found:
    1. Siam 3: Sunrise Divers or Sea Bees/thailand-scuba.
    2. Catamaran Hull: Sea Bees/thailand-scuba

    These boats are permanently out there, and from what I can tell you take a connecting boat to these liveaboards.

    Not quite right..South Siam 3 stays only in the Similan Islands. There is a new boat South Siam 4, which I just went to see on Saturday. It is similar to South Siam 3, takes 28 divers and will run 3 days / 2 nights to Similan, Richelieu Rock, Koh Tachai and Koh Bon. Trips start Tuesday and Saturday. Price 375 U$. Should be running by end of the month.

    I think Sea Dragon maybe have some 3 day trips also (operating out of Khao Lak).

    There is one more option, on a boat that does Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock. The former Genesis liveaboard, so really excellent boat.
    www.thailand-scuba.com/sim_B7.htm. On the same site you will find a trip on the new South Siam boat under A7.

    You can find a friendly and affordable diveoperator - ScubaCat in Patong

    The Surin Island is great! A nice contrast to the other dive location around Phuket and Similian Island.
