About this tour

What to expect
You'll meet at the pier after van pickup (7:30–8:45am, depending on your area). The boat leaves promptly at 9am for a 20–30 minute run to Maiton. Each dive lasts roughly 40 minutes, with surface intervals between. Instructors tailor depth and pace to your experience level. Non-certified divers work one-on-one with staff in shallower zones. Between dives, you'll snack on fresh fruit and Thai treats aboard. The return journey lands you back at the pier by 1:30pm, with hotel drop-off by 2:30pm.
