Aboard the Bunmee 4, we take you diving in the most beautiful spots the Andaman Sea has to offer.
For over 25 years, we have been sailing these waters and sharing our passion for sites that have become legendary, such as Richelieu Rock and the abundant life it shelters, the famous Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, as well as areas still little known to the general public, such as the pristine Surin Islands archipelago.
This experience now allows us to offer carefully crafted cruises, designed by divers, for divers.
The Bunmee 4 is a boat we have designed and developed over the years to be comfortable, functional and friendly.
On board, the atmosphere is deliberately family-like.
We favour human-sized groups to maintain a relaxed atmosphere and take the time to do things properly, both underwater and on board.
Our crew, who have worked with us for many years, know the region perfectly and ensure that every day runs under the best conditions.
We dive a lot, eat well, rest between dives and share the highlights of the day, whether over a meal or on deck, watching the sun set over the Andaman Sea.
Underwater, encounters are numerous.
These regions are renowned for sightings of manta rays, whale sharks, the now rarer zebra shark, sea turtles, as well as their impressive schools of trevally, batfish and barracudas.
Macro life is not left out, with numerous pipefish, seahorses, nudibranchs and, for the trained eye, occasionally a frogfish.
Every cruise is different, but the richness of marine life is always there.
The Bunmee 4 is above all an authentic dive cruise, without frills, where you come to dive, discover exceptional sites and experience a genuine human adventure in the Andaman Sea.

The best company I have ever travelled with. It's one thing to say that everything is ace, but the staff are so warm, kind and helpful that it's beyond words. I accidentally left my wetsuit on the boat. After a few phone calls they had already arranged to be at the airport with a transfer. I can only recommend🙏😊

Best liveaboard experience, an unforgettable underwater world with Bunmee 4 The liveaboard with Andaman scuba is a unique and exciting way to explore the underwater world. It combines the thrill of diving with the comfort of a floating hotel, I have an unforgettable adventure. The experience is enjoyable, good service and the crew is helpful. In general, the staff has good attention to detail. From the moment we step on board, I feel welcome and taken care of. The crew should be knowledgeable about the gears and the diving sites and answer all my questions. I took a refresher course and a deep SSI course, so that I can dive down to 30 M. (Tuna wreck, Richelieu rock, and Koh Taichai. ) Before each dive, the dive master/instructor will brief us on the dive site, the local marine life, weather conditions, and what to be aware of. There is a schedule that includes: briefing time, dive time, and most importantly, food time! For the dive brief, we are aware of the best times to dive, the types of marine life they may encounter, and the conditions that we may face. This information is really useful, and it greatly enhances the diving experience and makes it even more memorable. In addition, Bella, Edu, and Anthony are really friendly and approachable. Bella is really a warm and welcoming dive master that makes me feel comfortable and at ease. She greets us every day and is really helpful. She greets us every morning and she is really helpful. Edu is able to handle any issues that may arise during the trip, like I Was experiencing seasickness, and can’t equalize my ear, he is really patient. In general, the team is really professional. They are well-organized, trained, and experienced even when the condition is not too good. This makes the difference between my liveaboard trip memorable and enjoyable. With their attention to detail, friendly attitude, and willingness to go the extra mile, a helpful crew can make one of my most unforgettable holidays.
