MV Smiling Seahorse Is the Photographers Choice For The Similan Islands
The MV Smiling Seahorse caters exceptionally well for photographers. The owners are professional underwater photographers so they know exactly what’s required. Very few if any Similan Island liveaboards have a dedicated camera room. No need to leave your expensive equipment in a camera bucket, just rinse and use the convenient shelves to do what all photographers love to do – fiddle with their gear. Plenty of power points make charging batteries super easy.
The Cabins
Mv Smiling Seahorse has eight cabins – two standard, four deluxe and two master. Another great feature is the bed configuration, both standard and deluxe can be converted from twin to double bed. En-suite bathrooms in master and deluxe cabins but the standard share two communal rest rooms. All the cabins are air-conditioned for a peaceful nights sleep.
The Boat
With 4 decks for only 16 guests, you can guarantee space. The communal areas are very well thought out, the upper deck is where you’ll eat your delicious meals and simply relax between dives. The sundeck is a great place to be, partially shaded if you want to avoid the sun and just hang in a hammock and enjoy the cool breeze.
Special Trips
The Smiling Seahorse offers special trips throughout the season, all are great opportunities for photographers. As far as we know, they’re the only boat to offer blackwater diving trips. A unique chance to try this fascinating style of diving that truly produces the weird and wonderful.
There’s a workshop with award winning photographer Alex Tyrrel and a manta expedition with the Thailand Manta Project. Both will be fascinating trips with lots to be learned and fantastic diving.
