MV Camic

At 27 metres in length, MV Camic is a typical-size liveaboard boat which visits the Similan Islands & Richelieu Rock. The boat has earned a reputation as something a bit special for its delicious food. The mouth-watering meals are something to look forward to throughout the diving day. This includes Thai and western cuisine, served buffet style.

There are two cabin types to choose from. These are the master cabins which have a double bed, and the twin-bunk cabins that have two single beds. All have private en suite bathrooms & air conditioning. For some private charter trips there is also the option of a standard twin cabin that shares the boat's communal bathrooms, thus increasing guest capacity to 16. There is a covered communal area where the delicious meals are enjoyed. On the top and at the front of the boat are areas for guests to enjoy the sea breeze, sunbathe, gaze at star-filled skies or watch out for jumping dolphins.

Trips used to 'flexible' meaning that divers can join on any day. But now Camic only offers fixed schedule trips which visit The Similans, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock and The Surin Islands in the high season. Plus during the 'Green Season' there are trips from Pak Bara in the deep south that go to Koh Lipe for 3D/3N. Please note that these trips are also shown by other websites to be 5D/4N and 4D/3N, which is incorrect and misleading.

There is time to relax and really get into the fun diving, or even take part in a PADI dive course to increase your certification and experience. PADI courses on Camic are unbeatable value. In fact, excellent value is pretty much what MV Camic trips are all about. Air-conditioned comfort and safe diving are all that many people need, without breaking the bank on expensive luxuries.

Prices & Schedule

There are two different itineraries for Camic. Four days & nights and five days & nights. Both start at an easy dive site in the central Similan Islands, and offer at least one beach visit. They travel north to Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock and The Surin Islands, usually visiting the Moken Sea Gypsy Village.

Some websites show the trips as 5D/4N and 6D/5N but this is wrong. The boat departs in the evening and returns in the afternoon four (or five) days later. 

During the months from June to October, Camic sails from Pak Bara in Thailand's deep south to Koh Lipe for 3D/3N trips. To join these trips, guests need to fly into Hat Yai airport.
