Cruise
area:
The
Andaman sea of Thailand comprises a nature and marine preservation park of
around 15.000 square kilometers with about 3.500 islands. In this area you
are able to watch birds such as tukans or sea eagles, which are only some
of the endangered species which can be found there.
Most
of the smaller islands are uninhabited and offer unimaginable coral- and
sand beaches, which invite you for some great swimming. Gigantic and
impressive limestone formations with mysterious stalactites/
stalagmites - caves
and caves salience sometimes 350 meters vertically out of the water. Their
bizarre forms seem to show stoned pictures of animals, made by mother
nature
Diving
facilities onboard the Dauw Talae:
The Dauw
Talae isn’t an usual diving boat, but a cruise, which offers additional
facilities for experienced divers. Non-diving guests are not disturbed by
the activities performed by the divers. However, the ship does not offer a
diving course- there are also no coaches on board. The crew actually wants
to encourage diving coaches to put together their own groups and programs.
Guests with expected experience can borrow diving equipment on the normal
cruises.
You
are able to discuss details about your individual diving experiences with
the owner of the ship, who has a diving experience of 25 years. The junk also offers a great opportunity for
underwater videographers and photographers. The ship has enough
sheltered areas where divers can prepare their equipment and recharge
batteries. After dinner, the
underwater films, shot during the day, can
be watched on TV and copies can be made on normal videocassettes.
The
Bauer K 14 compressor (20 lt.-tank = 6 min.), which can be found in the
trunk of the ship, provides you fast and quietly with filtered air. For
the re-charging of the batteries, 220 Volts are offered, together with 12
and 24 Volt on board. Freshwater for showering and
cleaning of the equipment is is available in efficient quantities.
The
Dauw Talae anchors nearby great diving spots. One is able to take relaxed
diving trips anytime during day and night. If wanted, we will accompany
you with our 40 PS dinghy.
