Hey Divers, Meet MV Krishna 3 – Our Newest Thailand Liveaboard!

I’m Jaruda, and together with my co-founder Benz, we’re beyond stoked to share some exciting news for all you dive enthusiasts out there! Starting October 2025, MV Krishna 3 is officially available for booking on giantstridetravel.com. This shiny new vessel is the latest addition to the Scuba Dive Mate fleet, joining the legendary MV Peterpan, MV Krishna, and MV Krishna 2. If you’re looking for an epic Thailand liveaboard diving experience that won’t break the bank, MV Krishna 3 is your ticket to adventure. Picture this: diving the Similan Islands, savoring mouth-watering Thai seafood, and chilling in cozy cabins—all at an unbeatable price. Here’s the lowdown on why this boat is a must for your 2025 dive plans.

What Makes MV Krishna 3 So Special?

MV Krishna 3 is all about giving you top-notch diving without the hefty price tag. As part of the Scuba Dive Mate fleet, this boat carries on their reputation for amazing value and incredible food. I’ve been on their trips before, and let me tell you, the Thai-styled seafood—think fresh prawns, spicy fish curries, and even the occasional BBQ or hotpot—is a highlight after a day of diving. Built fresh in 2025, MV Krishna 3 is ready to hit the Andaman Sea, taking you to jaw-dropping spots like Richelieu Rock and Koh Lipe.

Here’s why we’re so excited about this boat:

Affordable Luxury: You get a high-end experience at a fraction of the cost, making it one of the best liveaboards in Thailand for budget-savvy divers.
Foodie Heaven: The onboard chefs whip up delicious meals, with Thai flavors stealing the show. Seafood lovers, you’re in for a treat!
Friendly Vibes: The crew knows their stuff, making sure every dive is safe, fun, and tailored to your skill level, whether you’re a newbie or a dive pro.

At Giant Stride Travel, we’ve partnered with Scuba Dive Mate to make booking your 2025 Thailand diving adventure super easy. MV Krishna 3 is the perfect way to explore the underwater wonders of Thailand without emptying your wallet.
