Koon 9

Overview

Explore the Similan Islands in style aboard the MV Koon 9, the largest liveaboard in the area at a whopping 52 meters long. This spacious vessel comfortably accommodates 40 divers in twin cabins (convertible to doubles) with private bathrooms. Relax in the air-conditioned saloon with entertainment options, indulge in delicious Thai and Western meals in the dining room, or soak up the sun on the expansive sundeck with stunning views. The well-equipped dive deck ensures a smooth and safe diving experience for all.

Another reason Koon 9 is such a fantastic boat to join is its flexible itinerary options. You can choose from 2D/1N (overnight trips), 3D/2N, or 4D/4N schedules, starting your trip almost any day of the week to fit your holiday plans. How does this work? Koon 9 departs from Khao Lak every Wednesday evening, and guests on these trips stay for four days and nights, completing up to 15 dives, before returning by speedboat late Sunday afternoon. Guests for the 2D/1N and 3D/2N trips start their adventure in the morning from Khao Lak by speedboat. You will dive three times on the first day and three times on the final day, before heading back by speedboat. If you opt for the 3D/2N trip, you can enjoy up to four dives on the middle day of your journey.
