“Great dives made even better by excellent guides and the best crew.”
Highlights
The 23m MV Marco Polo Liveaboard offers 3/2, 4/4, and 6/7 day/night dive trips to the Similans, Surin, and Richelieu Rock from November to April. The boat has 6 air-conditioned double cabins with ensuite bathrooms, catering to 12 guests. All cabins open to the outer deck to give guests the full benefit of the cool sea breeze. There are only 3 dive groups on board, guaranteeing excellent service, stress-free set-ups, and fewer divers on the dive sites.
After dives, the Party deck offers plenty of room to enjoy meals and relax in a shaded space. The spacious indoor salon with TV and music station lets guests view underwater footage or listen to music. This is also where all the freshly cooked meals will be served - a mix of international and Thai cuisine prepared by an experienced Thai cook. Upstairs, guests will find the cozy Sundeck, where they can enjoy their time between the dives and the sunset after the last dive of the day.
Diving takes place at the best dive sites in the Similan Islands, at Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, and Richelieu Rock. With only 12 divers on board, the Marco Polo is very flexible and can schedule more advanced dive sites for the more experienced divers on board, while others may prefer more relaxed dive sites. The Plateau and its nearby Pinnacle at Koh Tachai and Koh Bon’s Pinnacle and The Ridge are close to the fantastic Richelieu Rock and are solid components of the Marco Polo's dive schedule. In the Similans, the best dive sites are picked depending on the weather, drift, and traffic to avoid dive sites getting too busy.

The Similan and Surin National Parks trips aboard the Marco Polo is something you have to experience at least once.
This was my third time aboard the Marco Polo and I’m a repeat guest from last year for good reason. The diving in Thailand is amazing and I can’t get enough of Similan and Surin National Parks. The meals between dives are probably the best of any Liveaboard in Thailand.

Amazing, learn a lot, good experience.
Our first liveaboard, need to fight sea sickness, generally ok. Crews and guides are very helpful and nice. Richelieu Rock and Boonsung wreck really amazing, a must visit for diver. Since we joined a three days trip, to save time, needed to sail at night, bad sleep for that night.

Great 3 days of diving Richelieu and surround
Richelieu Rock was fantastic. Lots of fish, octopus, eels, sharks, Lovely dawn and dusk dives. Food was fresh and plentiful. The cabins had more space than expected and the ensuite bathrooms are roomy with hot water showers. Plenty of room on deck to share experiences with other divers. The team on the dive deck were incredible, getting everyone quickly and safely in the zodiacs/water, and back on boat, double checking everyone's gear and refill air for next dive,

The Similan and Surin National Parks trips aboard the Marco Polo is a can’t miss trip.
This was my second time aboard the Marco Polo and I’m a repeat guest from last year for good reason. The diving in Thailand is amazing and I can’t get enough of Similan and Surin National Parks. The Scuba here is world class, and the meals between dives are delicious. Dave was our dive guide for this trip and was a lot of fun to be in the water with. He did a great job of communicating, pointing out marine life, and keeping the group safe.

Marco Polo Adventure
I recently had the pleasure of spending 6 days/6 nights on the Marco Polo Liveaboard run by Sea Bees for an adventure to the Similan Islands. The trip was great in every way. The Sea Bees Office Staff were friendly and welcoming The Marco Polo may be a small boat, but it is comfortable and friendly, the cabins are functional and more roomy than I expected and the size of the boat means everyone mixes ensuring a great atmosphere. The big plus is the Food is amazing The Dive Crew of Maren, Misha and Dave made the trip one to remember, thanks all. Especially Misha, who was mine and my buddies Dive Guide, for making trip one to remember I would 100% recommend Sea Bees and the Marco Polo

Wonderful dive experiences with friendly crews
I had an incredible experience with 15 spectacular dives over 4 nights, supported by an amazing crew! The carefully selected dive sites far exceeded my expectations. Richeliue Rock and the Boonsung Wreck are truly unforgettable dive spots—you won't be disappointed. A big shoutout to the fantastic dive masters, Chris, Mike, and Cheng! They are incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, making each dive a unique and enjoyable experience. I also loved the endless supply of delicious Thai food and fresh fruits provided between dives—it was the perfect way to recharge. I’m completely satisfied with both the dives and the onboard service. Highly recommended!
