Diving on the Giamani liveaboard in Thailand
Giamani Liveaboard is the ideal experience for lovers of diving, relaxation, incredible beaches and cultural and culinary discoveries with a temperature between 25 ° C and 35 ° C throughout the year.
Nowadays, it’s scarce to see and observe beauty. With all the pollution, rush and corruption, beauty has become an endangered currency. Thankfully, Thailand didn’t cease to provide the most captivating and dive oriented areas, along the blue Andaman Sea: Aboard Giamani we take you along a trip to discover the Similan Islands, Richelieu Rock, Phi Phi islands, as well as Hin Daeng and Hin Muang for 2 up to 6 days.
It’s not a strike of hazard that leads us to choose the Andaman Sea but our knowledge of all its treasures. The seabed is subdued with beauty: manta rays, sea turtles, barracudas evolve in multicolored coral reefs. The crystal clear waters and the Similan Islands caves render it a perfect spot for diving. On land, the fauna and flora are of an infinite variety and dazzle the traveler: more than 800 endemic species of birds, elephants, monkeys, coconut trees as far as the eye can see, rubber trees, mangroves, etc.
