There is usually some kind of compromise to be made when choosing which Similan Islands diving day trip to join. Smaller boats are generally faster to the dive sites. But spending the whole day on a speedboat, especially rocking around at the lunchtime surface interval, is not much fun. Larger day trip boats may be more comfortable, but journeys can be three hours or more each way. Similan diving day trips on Nemo 2 give you the best of both worlds.
Transfers are on Nemo 2 speedboat from Tab Lamu Pier in Khao Lak, then you spend the whole day on board MV Nemo 1, which is a brand-new liveaboard board that has a large dive deck, proper dining area and plenty of space to walk around. The large boat stays out at sea, cruising around the best dive sites, including Koh Bon & Koh Tachai. Day trip divers can enjoy the best of short journey times, a large & stable diving platform, and freshly-cooked proper meals for lunch.
During the week, there is a different diving location every day. Therefore, divers who want to dive on two or more consecutive days aboard Nemo are guaranteed to get excellent and varied diving locations.
In addition to fast transport, a big boat to dive from, delicious food and great diving, Nemo 2 is extremely good value. The trips are very competitively priced. Finally, the boat is owned & run by a very-experienced Swiss couple, who make sure that everything runs like clockwork, but with lots of friendly smiles, fun and Thai hospitality.
Nemo 2 guests need to stay in Khao Lak (not in Phuket) the night before.

I thoroughly enjoyed not just the dive through nemo, but the holistic experience. The crew was extremely adept, and it was easy to tell our safety was their primary concern. The owners (the friendliest people you will ever meet) personally picked us up in the morning, and made the experience much more personal. I would recommend doing the liveaboard option as there is just so much to see for diving in Thailand, but as a day di
ve there are zero regrets from me. Will go with Nemo next time I come back to Thailand, seriously.

Nice dive shop with prompt, organized, and safety-first staff. The Nemo 2 speedboat was comfortable and fast, and the dive boat was clean and orderly with a helpful crew, good cook, friendly guides, and comfortable space for dive briefings, resting during dive interval, and room for gear. One individual in my dive group had faulty rental equipment on our dive which caused a slightly shortened dive for our group. That being sai
d, my equipment was fine and seemed to be fully functional. Only a couple of hiccups in communication between Jamie (No Troubles Just Bubbles), Dive Shop staff, and actual dive crew: I didn't get a t-shirt as promised when I went to the dive shop (not a huge deal, but would have been good to know). Also, I had asked whether towels would be provided on the boat or not. The dive shop said yes so I didn't bring one, but when I got to boat, they said they only gave towels to overnight guests, not day-trip guests. This was not major, just odd, but we eventually scrounged up a towel to share after asking around on the boat. The diving was easy and warm water was great (no wetsuit), lots of small tropical fish, Christmas tree worms, and a few soft corals--overall pleasant but nothing spectacular in the rocky reefs. Also the boat doesn't allow you to go on land and see the beautiful white-sand beaches (due to timing), so that was kind of a bummer but you can't do everything in a day trip. Next time an overnight stay would probably be better as you have time to do much more.

The response, service level, arrangements and follow up by Jamie was the best experience for me. Ever.
Our flight was delayed and Jamie was on hand to ensure the Dive Centre stayed opened while we rushed there. The next day pick-ups, dives and DM was top notch!
Highly recommended and will definitely use them again.
Good job guys
