Our liveaboard, m/v Atlantis X

Liveaboard diving at Similan & Surin Islands

The Atlantis X, a 80-foot wood dive yacht, built in 1995, provides cruising and diving in unparalleled luxury. In October 2001, she will be completed after an extensive, three-month dry dock. While in dry dock the entire vessel was painted and new air-conditioning units, compressors and generators were installed. Crew quarters were remodeled and a new guest cabin was constructed. This luxurious vessel provides 16 guests the ultimate in comfort and space. She is 22 feet wide, diesel-powered and has 220-volt power on board. When the entire vessel is chartered by a group, she can accommodate any special requests or itineraries. She is also the perfect setting for business meetings and seminars.

The Atlantis X has eight private, carpeted staterooms, with a double or twin bunk and a private bath with toilet. Six rooms are located main deck and two on the lower deck and have individual air conditioning controls, vanity and plenty of hot, fresh water. Staterooms are cleaned daily and all linens are changed throughout your stay. Upstairs, on the upper level, is the dinning area, an attractively furnished area designed for comfort and relaxation. The multilevel dinning area is functional and attractive, combining utility with superb comfort. For entertainment, the Atlantis X boasts a 27" super VHS/PAL, CD, tape player, huge dedicated battery charging area for photographers. A large library of CDs, videos and books is also available for guests. Abundant seating and comfortable couches make the dinning area a natural gathering place. The dinning areas comfortable seating arrangement and presentation equipment make it a great room for lectures and meetings. Meals are served from the buffet counter in the salon. Breakfast and dinner are eaten here.		© Anthony Godoy Similan Island no. 8
In the Similans most diving is done from the dive skiffs. They are equipped with lockers, tanks and exit ladders. The mother ship's large dive platform is at water level with two 9-foot ladders extending underwater for easy exit. The platform has twin freshwater showers for that refreshing after-dive body and equipment rinse. Just four steps up from the platform is the spacious dive deck with its camera rinse tank, fountain, individual dive lockers and three-tiered, carpeted camera table. This deck features a non-skid texture for your safety. Only one tank is needed per diver, as air whip stations are conveniently located near the lockers, eliminating the need to "manhandle" any of the 80-cubic ft. aluminum cylinders. A full line of rental scuba gear and underwater camera equipment is available on board. A few steps up from the dive deck is the sun deck, a large partially shaded, carpeted, deck with wet bar and lounge area. The deck furniture is comfortable and plentiful. Just bring a good sunscreen and wide brimmed hat for protection from the equatorial sun. The BBQ area, also located on the upper deck, is the perfect place to photograph some of the most dynamic sunsets in the Andaman sea. Numerous lunches and dinners are also featured on the upper deck/bar.
