Dive Site Difficulty & Daily Rhythm

01

Beginner

Sites like Mioskon and the shallow sections of Aljui Bay — minimal currents, depths of 5–10 metres.

02

Intermediate

Cape Kri and Chicken Reef — varying currents and depths of 10–30 metres for some experience.

On a liveaboard you can expect 3 to 5 dives per day — usually a two-dive morning, a mid-afternoon dive, and an optional night dive. Night dives, around the reefs of Kri Island, reveal a whole new world of nocturnal marine life and bioluminescence.
