M/V Colona 6
Phuket Liveaboard Diving Boat
On the Colona 6, space and comfort are the theme. Our guest numbers are limited to 14 per trip so that on our 28m boat you never feel crowded.
We have 6 twin cabins and 1 double (reservable on request on a first-come, first-served basis). Each cabin has its own shower and toilet, and the on-board water-maker means you can take a shower whenever you like. Fitted cupboards keep personal belongings out from underfoot. Wide windows and varnished ash interiors give lots of light, and a really spacious feeling. The roomy dive deck very comfortably accommodates 14 divers (& 2 dive guides). Custom-built tank benches minimize clutter. 2 freshwater showers and a freshwater bucket let you take excellent care of cameras, dive computers and you!
At mealtimes, make your way up to the dining area, and choose between delicious Thai or, for less spicy palates, European cuisine. Buffet-style service means you may eat to your heart’s content. After your meal, lean back against the cushions, and watch a movie on our TV / VCD system, or listen to music CDs on the stereo system or lie down on 50 Sq meter sundeck.
Beer, wine and soft drinks are available for purchase. Tea, coffee, and drinking water are freely available. At the end of a relaxing day, retire to your air-conditioned cabin. Don’t forget to plug in your dive torch before you sleep (220 a.c. international sockets in all cabins – no pin adapter needed). Finally, enjoy a sweet, restful sleep!
All cabins with two beds and large panoramic window, aircon, private toilet and shower. A standard, which no other dive boats in Phuket, can offer in this price range. Our top deck settees and deck chairs are covered with cushions. You can sit there for hours, read a book or have a beer. We wanted space enough for everybody and limited the number of divers to 14. We also wanted to offer a dive program no other boat has got!
