Diving Insurance
Check if your travel insurance covers a diving accident
When was the last time you dived?
If it’s over a year we advise you to take a Scuba review first, or get a private guide for the day. Safety comes first.
Towels
Towels are supplied on most of the boats, but it is always good to bring your own. If you don’t have it ask your hotel if they can provide one for a day.
Sun Protection
It is amazing how many people forget to bring sun protection. Sun in Thailand is very strong and unprotected skin burns after 15 minutes of exposure
Camera
The Similan Islands are a stunning destination above and below the water. If you bring your camera make sure you have a waterproof dry bag with you.
All divers and snorkelers must send the following information before their trip.
Name on your passport
Passport number
Date of birth
Nationality
Your passport details will be connected to your own Marine park ticket.
Do you have any medical problem?
Any existing medical conditions or taking any form of medication must be endorsed with a Dive Doctor Certificate to ensure your insurance is valid.
Things you should do before coming to Thailand
Notify your bank that you are traveling to Thailand. This ensures your credit/debit cards will work and avoids any ‘red flags’ when making payments.
