The Phinisi Heads to the South Andaman From May to June
The Phinisi takes a short hiatus to the Southern Andaman in the green season. Some excellent diving can be found around the Phi Phi islands and Koh Haa. You will need a small slice of luck with the weather but it’s rarely so bad that the trip can’t go out. All of the dive sites offer protection from any inclement weather.
Usually this fantastic boat can be found cruising the Similan and Surin Islands but for a brief period from mid May until the end of June you will find the Phinisi in the Southern Andaman
18 very lucky guests are comfortably accommodated in a range of cabins to suit different budgets. Two Quad cabins, two twin cabins and 3 cabins that can be used as either twin or double bed configuration. Every cabin has en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, towels, storage space, overhead reading lights and a safe.
Large and comfortable social areas including an air conditioned saloon where you can choose a book from the extensive library or watch a movie. The spacious sundeck on the Phinisi is a great spot to watch the South Andaman sunsets.
Built By Divers For Divers
The covered diving deck on the Phinisi has generous individual set up areas which include a personal storage area. Entry to the water is via well designed dinghies. Rental equipment is high quality Aqualung, SMB’s are offered free of charge and nitrox is available to rent (recommended).
Excellent and plentiful food is served buffet style and eaten either in the shaded dining area or inside the comfortable saloon. You certainly won’t go hungry but neither will you lose any weight on a Phinisi trip to the South Andaman
