MV Oktavia is one of the largest ships that explores the Similan Islands. So when we say “ours is bigger than yours” we really mean it! She is built to hold up to 33 guests but we usually limit our capacity to around 20 people. This leaves you plenty of room to relax and enjoy your time between dives.

At 30 meters in length and 6.5m wide, MV Oktavia cuts smoothly through the sea making her a very stable. Our amazing Captain Chow will provide you with relaxed sailing between the dive sites on our Similan Islands liveaboard. There is a sundeck for those who want to soak up a few rays on the top deck of the boat. Or use it to watch the stars twinkle in the night sky after sunset. At the front of the boat is a seating area with arguably the best views on the boat. This is a favourite place for all to enjoy and chat about your days diving and the sun goes down.

The main deck is where many people choose to relax with a good book or hang out between dives. It’s also our main area for all the dive briefing presentations and where we serve our delicious buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner – not forgetting the countless snacks our wonderful cooks prepare in between!

Heading down a deck you will find the dive deck where all your equipment is stored. It is also here you will be jumping in and out of the water from during your Similan Islands liveaboard. In front of the dive deck is the galley, where the food is cooked, followed by our Blue Ocean Cabins and accompanying bathrooms.
