Scuba Tune Up. If you have not been fortunate enough to have been diving within the last 12 months, then we request you to take a Scuba Tune-Up, prior to embarking on one of our Liveaboard or Daytrips, for your own enjoyment and safety. It is a long way to go to the Similan Islands only to discover that you do not remember exactly how it all works, become anxious, use air excessively and ultimately have a short dive(s). Customers who take the Tune-Up confirm, that they have a much more relaxing and pleasurable experience, with their diving competences refreshed and up to date.
