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.
