Andaman Queen Liveaboard – Welcome on board

MV Deep Andaman Queen Liveaboard is a highly demanded liveaboard built in 2012, she has air conditioned cabins with private bathroom. She has a variety of cabin configurations to suit our guests’ requirement from quad, triple and twin shared standard cabins on the lower deck, to Deluxe Double bed and Twin beds cabins on the main deck. Not forgetting the Master cabin, this has one of the best panoramic ocean view any liveaboards can offer.

MV Andaman Queen Liveaboard has now Colti Sub Nitrox membrane on board – unlimited Nitrox is available for every diver. She has one of the largest dive platforms in the Thailand. It consists of a very wide and spacious kitting-up area on two levels, a separate entry/exit platform, 2 exit ladders with 2 fresh water showers to rinse yourself or your equipment after diving. There is also 2 large buckets with fresh water for rinsing cameras, dive computers and torches.

Interior charm

The interior saloon is large enough to seat everyone on the boat, including crew, and features a DVD entertainment system and comfortable benches and low tables to sit and enjoy a drink. Most meals are served in the covered deck area just to the rear of the saloon. She has wooden tables and comfortable chairs where you´ll enjoy your meal with three other guests. Meals are served buffet style, with fresh breads, fruit, and wonderful Thai and Western dishes served up by the fabulous chef.

Sunbathers can enjoy the top desk, where there is a large 60 square meter half-shaded sun deck equipped with sun beds, lounge chairs and soft sofas.
The sun deck is very popular among our guests as you can read your favorite novel or take a nap during the surface interval on our nice clean and comfortable leather sofas.

Dive deck and gear area

Going down the stairs from the top deck you’ll be on the cabin deck and this is where most of your time will be spent–gearing up for diving, the reason we’re here. The dive deck is spacious and well designed. There is no moving tanks around, all tanks are filled at their stations or the crew will handle the lifting. Put your gear together and forget about it. Two dinghies will transfer you to the dive sites, or we’ll jump off the mother ship. All pick-ups are done from the dinghies for your convenience. Since many of the dives are drift dives, this system is pretty common practice in these waters.

Similans & Burma Liveaboard Diving
Mergui Archipelago

Join Andaman Queen liveaboard for some of the most exciting dives in the world. This area only opened in the late 1990s includes islands within the Mergui archipelago and the more well-known Burma Bank which lie outside the archipelago. Very few places can offer such a feeling of adventure, days of diving on sites with no other divers or dive boats to be seen around. Although the Mergui Archipelago is gaining popularity, the large remote area is likely to have you as the only divers on a particular dive site. The huge advantage of diving is to avoid the crowds and allow you to dive at your own pace and spend time to enjoy the underwater life.
