A New Generation of Liveaboard |
Liveaboard diving at
Similan & Surin Islands
The Atlantis X
(10) is Phuket's newest ³new generation² dive boat offering a high level of
comfort, private bathrooms in each cabin, and selling at a very attractive
price. She is 80 foot (24 meters) in length and her beam is 22 feet (6.6
meters). Built originally in 1995, she has recently completed a three-month
major refit, transforming her into a world-class dive vessel.
|
There are now a total of eight en suite, air-conditioned
cabins, with separate crew quarters, making the boat one of the most
comfortable in the Andaman Sea. New individually controlled air conditioners
were installed in each cabin and in the common areas. She is diesel-powered
and has generators providing 220-volt power. When a group charters the entire
vessel, she can accommodate special requests and itineraries. She is the
perfect vessel for business meetings and seminars.
Built for Comfort and Style
The Atlantis X has eight private, carpeted staterooms, with a double or
twin bunk and a private bath with toilet and plenty of hot water. All the
cabins have panoramic windows and feature personal vanities. Staterooms are
cleaned daily and all linens are changed throughout your stay. Up top is the
outdoor dining area, an attractively furnished area designed for comfort and
relaxation. |

For entertainment, the Atlantis X boasts a 27" super
VHS/PAL television, CD, tape player, and a large dedicated battery
charging area for photographers. We have a library of CDs, videos and
books available for guests, and you're welcome to bring your own as
well. Abundant seating and comfortable couches make the dining area a
natural gathering place. The dining areas' comfortable seating
arrangement and presentation equipment make it a great room for
lectures and meetings. Built for Diving
Most diving is done from the mother ship, and we pick up divers on
the surface using our fast inflatable dinghies, eliminating the long
swim back to the boat. Atlantis X'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, individual dive lockers
and three-tiered, carpeted camera table. This deck features a non-skid
surface for your safety. Only one tank is needed per diver, as our on
board compressors fill your tanks between dives. Our capable crew
handles any carrying of dive tanks. A full line of rental scuba gear
and underwater camera equipment is available on board.
Plenty of Sun and Shade
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 our beautiful sunsets and to enjoy our comfortable tropical
climate.
