Please note that some websites are misleading about the length of the trips. A 14-dive 4-night trip should be shown as 4D/4N because it departs in the evening, with no diving on that day. But some websites like to make the trips look longer than they really are and show the trips as 5D/4N. This is also the same for the longer trips, which are really 5D/5N, not 6D/5N. 

Prices & Schedule

Dive RACE has several itineraries. Most are 4D4N* trips to Similan Islands & Richelieu Rock, departing from & returning to Tab Lamu Pier in Khao Lak. But during the season there are also some trips in the southern islands (Hin Daeng & Koh Haa). Also, there are some longer trips which combine both diving areas. At peak times (Christmas, New Year & Chinese New Year), the Similan trips are one day longer.

*Some other websites advertise the 14-dive, 4-night trips as 5D4N. Although they span 5 calendar dates, there are only 4 diving days and on departure day the boat departs at night, with no diving.

Please carefully check & choose from the itineraries below for your chosen/preferred trip.
