Luxury dive cruiser 'Chandida'


'Chandida' is the only fast scuba diving cruiser in the region. Her superior size allows Blue Guru divers the luxury of a calm ride with ample space to rest & relax in the air conditioned saloon or chat with other guests upstairs on the deck.

Blue Guru - closest dive centre


Blue Guru Diving is the closest dive centre to Richelieu Rock. We are half the distance away from this world class dive site than Khao Lak where all the other dive boats come from. This means that you have the opportunity to explore Richelieu by a dive cruiser as opposed to speedboat or liveaboard.
