MV Krishna 3

MV Krishna 3 is a modern mid range Thailand liveaboard introduced in 2025 and designed from the ground up for diving holidays in the Andaman Sea. Accommodating up to 24 guests with a crew of 10, the boat strikes a genuine balance between comfort, practicality and value, making it a solid pick for divers who want access to Thailand's best dive sites without paying top end liveaboard prices. The friendly onboard atmosphere and well thought out layout mean the experience works just as well above the water as it does below.

All 11 guest cabins sit above the waterline, which keeps things brighter and airier throughout the trip. The cabin range covers twin, double, king and four bunk options, giving the boat flexibility for couples, solo travellers and small groups alike. Every cabin is air conditioned and comes with a private ensuite bathroom including hot and cold shower, large windows for natural light and sea views, and daily housekeeping to keep things fresh across the full duration of the cruise.

Diving is central to everything on Krishna 3. The spacious dive deck gives guests room to prepare and store equipment without the usual scramble, and support boats make entries and exits manageable across a wide range of sites. Nitrox is on offer for certified divers, rental gear is available when needed, and dedicated camera rinse facilities make the boat a comfortable base for underwater photographers keen to document Thailand's reefs and marine life.

Time between dives is well catered for too. The air conditioned saloon is a welcome escape from the midday heat, while the outdoor dining and social areas give guests space to eat, relax and enjoy the scenery as the boat moves between destinations. Meals are freshly prepared and draw from both Thai and international cooking, with snacks and refreshments on hand throughout the day to keep energy levels up between dives.

Krishna 3 runs a varied programme of itineraries across the Andaman Sea throughout the year. Heading north, trips take in the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock, where healthy reef systems and the possibility of encountering whale sharks, manta rays and other large pelagic species make for some of the most rewarding diving in Southeast Asia. Southern itineraries shift the focus to Koh Haa, Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lipe, where walls, pinnacles and colourful coral formations offer a different but equally impressive style of diving.

For divers after a modern, well equipped liveaboard that delivers professional service, comfortable accommodation and access to the Andaman Sea's most celebrated dive destinations, MV Krishna 3 makes a compelling case for itself. The combination of a 2025 build, a thoughtful onboard setup and routes covering both northern and southern Thailand diving puts it in a strong position for anyone planning their next liveaboard trip.
