The New Premium Dive Experience with Aussie Divers Phuket

Starting November 1st, 2024, Aussie Divers Phuket is thrilled to announce the addition of a new dive vessel to our fleet: MV Kepsub. We are taking over the operation of this premium dive boat from Local Dive Thailand, and we’re excited to bring our renowned level of professionalism and service to this new venture.

A Premium Dive Experience in Phuket

In recent years, diving in Phuket has seen a rise in the number of larger shared boats operating diving day trips, with some carrying as many as 60-80 divers onboard. At Aussie Divers Phuket, we believe that a truly memorable and safe dive experience comes with smaller groups and a more personalized touch. This is why we are committed to running MV Kepsub with a maximum of 30-40 divers onboard, ensuring an intimate and quality diving experience for all our guests.

Discovering Unique Dive Sites

Our goal with MV Kepsub is not just to offer a boat ride, but to create a premium diving experience unlike any other in Phuket. While other larger shared boats tend to follow the usual routes, we aim to explore different and lesser-known dive sites around the beautiful Racha Islands and the world-renowned Phi Phi Islands. By focusing on these unique locations, we hope to provide divers with new underwater adventures and stunning marine life encounters on every trip.

Maintaining Our Signature Level of Professionalism and Safety

Aussie Divers Phuket has built a reputation over the years for our unwavering commitment to diver safety, professionalism, and top-notch service. As we take over MV Kepsub, this commitment remains at the heart of everything we do. Our experienced and passionate dive team will be onboard every trip to ensure that every diver, from beginners to seasoned professionals, feels confident and comfortable.

The History of MV Kepsub: A Vessel Built for Adventure

The MV Kepsub has a rich history that spans over a decade in the waters of the Andaman Sea. Originally built as a sturdy fishing vessel, the boat was purpose-designed to withstand the unique challenges of the Andaman Seas around Phuket. Recognizing its potential beyond fishing, the vessel underwent a significant transformation into a liveaboard dive boat, catering to adventurous divers exploring the deeper and more remote sites of the region.

Over the years, the MV Kepsub was further refurbished to become a reliable day trip dive boat, perfectly suited for local excursions. With this upgrade, the boat retained its solid construction while adding modern amenities and enhancements to ensure comfort and safety for divers. Supported by an experienced crew with extensive knowledge of the local waters, MV Kepsub has been successfully running daily dive trips in Phuket for over 10 years. The boat has earned a reputation for reliability and comfort, making it a preferred choice for divers exploring the Andaman’s vibrant marine life.

Why Choose MV Kepsub?

For those seeking a more personalized and premium dive experience in Phuket, MV Kepsub is the perfect choice. With fewer divers on board, there’s more space, more comfort, and more time to relax between dives. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a quiet and serene day at sea or are eager to explore new and exciting dive sites, we’ve got you covered.
