Highlights
The Merdeka 3 'Spaboat' offers fantastic cruises in Thailand for both divers and non-divers alike. Itineraries are 4 nights long and explore Phi Phi, Koh Ha, Hin Daeng & Hin Muang in the Krabi province. The tour aims to offer the ultimate 'relax and chill' trip. Around 2 dives per day will be offered, leaving plenty of time to relax and explore the beautiful surrounding islands. Dive cruises with Merdeka 3 include full board, beer, wine, massage, and complimentary use of kayaks and other boat facilities.
Activities include snorkeling in the crystal clear waters, exploring the beautiful bats, kayaking, sunset drinks, massages, and enjoying delicious, freshly-prepared Thai cuisine. Dives generally occur in the morning when the sites are quieter, leaving time for relaxation in the afternoon. However, there is the opportunity to add extra dives for no additional cost if the location and conditions allow.
The Merdeka 3 is a traditional Indonesian phinisi built out of ironwood. She caters to just 15 guests in a choice of 6 en-suite cabins - ranging from double, twin, triple, or quad. Each cabin features a hot & cold water shower, individually controlled AC, and fans. Social areas include a large shaded sundeck with mats and a covered outdoor lounge and dining area. The perfect place to relax with a complimentary sunset drink whilst enjoying the sea air.

A great experience
The Merdeka 3 is a bit more rustic than other dive ships, but has more charm. Everything is a little more leisurely, with several shore leaves. So you don't rush from dive site to dive spot. The trip with the Merdeka 3 clearly exceeded my expectations.

Went beyond my expectations
The name has it all, dive n chill. It was the perfect balance of diving, relaxation and exploration. The captain and whole crew were so friendly, they went beyond in ensuring my comfort and the food that was cooked up was so good!! Traditional Thai food and a splash of western (think chicken nuggets and fluffy pancakes) Highly recommend.

The most relaxing and adventurous dive trip we’ve had.
Diving the Phi Phi islands was the highlight of the trip, but the crew is what made it so memorable. We even had a wonderful night ashore hiking to watch the sunset over Koh Phi Phi Don and then watched a beachside fire dancing show that was incredible.

- The view from the cabin was amazing, the diving was great, and the daily massage were the perfect ending to the day.

Delightful boat with a good crew. 12 perfect dives, special: Hin Daeng, Hin Muang and King Cruiser Wreck. We were the only 2 guests on the boat, which can accommodate up to max 14 people. Once in a lifetime experience! Thank you very much!
