Join us on M/V Kepsub For Your Phuket Diving Tours
The M/V Kepsub is the most reliable diving tour vessel for your Phuket diving tour. Originally a fishing boat then repurposed as a liveaboard vessel before finally ending up as our Phuket day trip boat. Which we think is her true calling. Designed specifically for the waters around Phuket, she can comfortably handle any conditions. Our captain has been with us for 10 years so you couldn’t have a safer and more reliable duo.
We keep a limit to the amount of divers onboard so you won’t be fighting for space to relax onboard, queuing 25 minutes minutes for meals or experiencing ‘diver soup’ underwater unlike some other Phuket dive vessels which carry as many as 90 divers.
Don’t trust your diving trip to other companies in Phuket. Our safety record and usability for divers is second to none. You can trust Local Dive Thailand & the M/V Kepsub to provide you with an amazing three dive, scuba diving day trip tour, or we will offer a refund. That’s how confident we are with the operation of the M/V Kepsub.
Reliability, Space And Safety
Space, safety and reliability. Three things every diver wants in a dive boat which is exactly what we provide with the M/V Kepsub scuba diving tour boat. Ever been on a cramped or confined diving boat, jostling for space with other divers just to get into your equipment? Ever dived from long tails or banana boats where you can’t move around with no respite from the blistering sun? If you are a diver you’ve had these things happen to you. Avoid these problems by joining us on the M/V Kepsub. A large spacious, comfortable scuba diving tour boat. We depart from the heart of Phuket at Chalong pier to the destinations in and around Phuket, listed below.
We have two tanks at every dive station so even if all three (yes three!) of our compressors failed you can still dive. One of our compressors is a nitrox membrane system that allows to supply nitrox at the drop of a hat.

Comfort And Accessibility
This vessel also has a large diver launch platform and side jump area meaning divers and groups can get off and back on the vessel safely and easily. We also have three bathrooms and 5 showers on board the Kepsub, so no waiting around to rinse off after a dive! The Kepsub also has a large spacious sun-deck, many tables and chairs inside, and is ringed by comfortable seating & or sleeping areas.
We’ve recently added wide comfortable seating on the sundeck for even more space and comfort. A small awning provides shade so you can take in all the wonderful sights and sounds without having to fear the tropical sun.
