Similans Tech Liveaboard

[martini_effect]

anyone know of any similan liveaboards that me and some friends can use for tech diving (deep air)?

I cant find any that supply double tanks....i suppose we could drive our own up there if need be. we would definitely need a boat with nitrox, even if it is only up to 40%

any suggestions welcome

Check out the Philkade. Takes ten people and I know they were taking a charter out of mixed gas, techies that had chartered the whole boat.

You could ask Joerg at Deep Blue Divers, I am sure he would know.

You could try these guys, Ocean Zone Divers in Phuket near the pier. I've gotten EAN fills from them before.

Personally, I don't see the combination of diving the Similans and anything deeper than 37 meters. so I'm not sure how much of a market to support a deep tech LAB.

However, EAN fills would be a definite plus IMO there, more than one day when I was there a couple of weeks ago I wished I had more than 21% EAN

Well, there are plenty of liveaboards with Nitrox on board - Mermaid II, Colona 6, Queen Scuba, Philkade, and pretty much anything higher budget.

heres some techy dive sites in the Similan
Koh Similan...Beacon point....55m
Elephant head....70m
Koh Payan...shark fin reef..40m
Koh Bon....40m
at Surin there is Richlieu rock....45m

not super deep but deep enough for some tech stuff mixed in with some rec dives...for me its not always about going deep...if theres stuff at 35m then a tech dive for me is spending 45 mins down there before deco.
