Making your dream diving holidays come true!
The Smiling Seahorse runs dive cruises since 2012 to the top rating dive sites around the Andaman sea. We operate MV Smiling Seahorse, a brand new (November 2018), comfortable liveaboard conceived by and for divers for an ultimate experience.
We run trips in Myanmar (Burma) and all over the west coast of Thailand from Richelieu Rock in the Surin Islands, to Koh Lipe in the South Andaman near the Malaysian border passing by the Similan islands, Phi Phi and Koh Lanta national parks.
Both french, Franck and Camille met with a passion in common: diving. Each holidays were an opportunity to discover a little piece of the underwater world and we quickly discovered that liveaboards were the best way to discover unspoiled dive sites.
Burma took it to a whole new level and we discovered here the wonder of diving with no other boat at sight. And when it came to establishing ourselves, Ranong came as the perfect location.
​Our main concern is to make sure you have a safe and unforgettable diving experience.
