Description

Boat

Smiling seahorse measuring 25m long and 6.4m wide, Its Steel hull is much more suited to easily cut through waves than a wooden hull and its 2 superior engines allow the MV Smiling Seahorse to venture further into the unknown.

The top level of the boat is the ultimate lounge area. It has a shaded area with an outdoor living room and hammocks to relax, play cards, or take a nap in the shade during your surface interval. If you prefer to catch some rays the whole front of the boat is uncovered and has a variety of Thai style cushions and mats at your disposal to create the perfect sunbathing zone. This is also the perfect place to wistfully look up at the stars and enjoy the solitude and calm of the open sea.

Smiling seahorse has a multipurpose common area on the upper deck, where you will be served scrumptious meals, have access to snacks and refreshments 24 hours a day, meet for pre-dive briefings with your dive team, consult the Marine life library to identify the beautiful creatures you saw, or just sit back and relax surrounded by cushions.

There are 4 big tables to comfortably enjoy your meals, play games, or study your dive course materials as well as two bars with stools on either side of the boat. The dining area has plenty of counter space for snacks and the buffet as well as a full-sized fridge stocked with goodies and a compartmentalized eco-friendly trash/recycling disposal system. At the very back is an enormous couch area covered with cushions perfect for a cozy nap between dives.

Smiling seahorse also has an impeccable diving deck, the boat planned this area to maximize space and provide specialized areas for every diver’s needs. The diving deck features 2 shared bathrooms for the guests staying in standard cabins.

The photography room has a specific wash tank for your electronics, as well as numerous charging ports, shelving and counter space for maintenance and storage of your gear between dives.
