MV Hallelujah Deck Plan
The MV Hallelujah is an impressive vessel with large areas for relaxation and socialising.
Due to her massive size, most guests find themselves spending the majority of their time between dives in the common areas of the boat.
Our Similan liveaboard has three expansive levels for guests to enjoy.
[/az_column_text]
Sun Deck
[/az_column_text][az_blank_divider height_value=”11″][az_single_image image=”4335″ image_mode=”img-responsive” image_style_effects=”img-rounded” image_alignment=”aligncenter”][az_blank_divider height_value=”11″][az_column_text]The sun deck is the best place on MV Hallelujah to watch the sun rise and set. A large seating area at the bow, several sun loungers and plenty of padded mats for guests to read, listen to music or enjoy a power nap between dives.
A large sunshade keeps half of the deck hidden from the strong sun of Thailand. Perfect for a mid afternoon snooze. The Sun deck is probably the quietest area on the boat and the panoramic views can be quite stunning.[/az_column_text]
Upper Deck
[/az_column_text][az_blank_divider height_value=”11″][az_single_image image=”4336″ image_mode=”img-responsive” image_style_effects=”img-rounded” image_alignment=”aligncenter”][az_blank_divider height_value=”11″][az_column_text]The upper deck is where guests typically spend most of their time. Large, comfortable and shaded seating areas are at the bow and stern of the boat. The bridge contains navigation equipment for those interested in everything of a nautical nature.
The air-conditioned lounge is the main dining area and best place to socialise. Enjoy the large TV and sound system. Help yourself to a variety of free soft drinks. Several desks in the lounge have power outlets for those doing photo editing on board.[/az_column_text]
Main Deck
[/az_column_text][az_blank_divider height_value=”11″][az_single_image image=”4334″ image_mode=”img-responsive” image_style_effects=”img-rounded” image_alignment=”aligncenter”][az_blank_divider height_value=”11″][az_column_text]The main deck is where all the guest cabins are located (with the exception of the VIP cabin on the upper deck). All cabins have large windows, offer stunning views of the passing scenery, and it’s own en-suite bathroom with hot shower.
The dive platform is accessed from this level. Guests have their own storage space to keep dive equipment safe. There are large fresh water tanks for electronic equipment. The dive platform allows direct access to the sea without having to negotiate any stairs.[/az_column_text]
Cruise directly to Richelieu Rock, Thailand’s best dive site, in one hour!

The Dining
[/az_column_text][az_blank_divider height_value=”11″][az_single_image image=”4337″ image_mode=”img-responsive” image_style_effects=”img-rounded” image_alignment=”aligncenter”][az_blank_divider height_value=”11″][az_column_text]What makes a Similan liveaboard such great value is that food and accommodation are included. Food on the MV Hallelujah is delicious and plentiful. Our two cooks, Anne and Ratatouille, are probably the kindest people on the boat. They take pride in their work and accommodate any food preferences.
The MV Hallelujah Liveaboard features indoor and outdoor eating areas. And the excellent food prepared by our experienced cooks will ensure your meals are as good as your dives. Enjoy a light breakfast of cereal, fruit and toast before the first dive. The bigger buffet breakfast will be waiting for you when you return. A buffet lunch is served after dive two, a tasty snack after dive three and a variety of dishes served for dinner after dive four.[/az_column_text]
The Dive Crew
[/az_column_text][az_blank_divider height_value=”11″][az_single_image image=”4333″ image_mode=”img-responsive” image_style_effects=”img-rounded” image_alignment=”aligncenter”][az_blank_divider height_value=”11″][az_column_text]Big Blue has been offering the highest standards of diving in Thailand since 1991, and the MV Hallelujah Liveaboard only furthers this reputation for quality service.

All of our staff have years of experience in the Similans and even longer track records for keeping divers safe and happy season after season.

Similan Diving

For those not Nitrox certified, we offer Nitrox certification on board, along with other courses such as deep specialty and photo specialty.
The MV Hallelujah Liveaboard is “well equipped for photographers”. But don’t take our word for it, read the full review on DivePhotoGuide.com. For those traveling with non-divers, bring them along as a snorkeling guest, or sign them up for their Open Water course. We can arrange to complete the first day of the Open Water training in the pool just before the trip to maximise your dive time out at sea.[/az_column_text]
MV Hallelujah Trip Leaders
[/az_column_text][az_blank_divider height_value=”11″][az_column_text]With a maximum of 4 divers per group, and up to 25 guests, there may be 7 or 8 dive staff on board the MV Hallelujah Liveaboard. During the peak seasons we use a mix of full time diving staff and experienced freelancers. Even Big Blue’s Full-Time staff rotate between the Similan Liveaboard and the Similan diving day trips. However, you are almost certainly going to meet one of the two following people.
Other than the Captain, the most important job on The MV Hallelujah Liveaboard is that of the trip leader. Big Blue Diving Khao Lak have two full time trip leaders. They are responsible for the schedule, organizing the dive groups, communication with the Thai crew and generally making sure you are having a great time. Therefore, its good to know that during your stay on the MV Hallelujah Liveabaord, you will be in safe hands…[/az_column_text]
