Entertainment, Dining, and Common Areas
The main saloon is located on the upper deck where there is also a large outdoor area for dining or watching an evening sunset. Like the rest of the vessel the saloon is finished in gorgeous Burmese teak giving her a richness like no other. Polished teak wood adorns the walls and decks, and all of the built-in furniture is crafted from teak. All counters in the bathrooms, cabins, and bars are made of solid teak. The food service counters feature hand carved designs and ornamentation. Boats using this type of construction are few and far between due to the high cost of the wood and lack of craftsmen.
No expense has been spared to make you feel comfortable, pleased, and proud of your surroundings. The lighting has been deliberately planned down to the last detail to show off the wood and to be easy on your eyes. The saloon is also equipped with a state of the art entertainment center with theatre surround sound, CD, DVD, and wide screen television. On the top deck there is a huge sundeck for soaking up the rays or stargazing in the evening.
A Spacious Dive Deck
The dive deck has been designed with comfort and convenience in mind. There is plenty of space for suiting up and storage for your personal equipment. Each diver will be assigned his or her own station and your gear will remain set up during the entire cruise. Tanks are filled at this station, so you never have to worry about moving your equipment except to get in the water, and the caring crew will help you with that.
Personal gear is stored at your station in intelligently designed boxes, and wet suits are hung up to dry on a custom rack. Cameras are stored apart from your personal gear on special camera shelves, and out of the air-conditioned areas to avoid lens fogging. There are showers outside for a quick rinse after the dives.
A Priority # 1
For travel and safety on the open sea the Hallelujah features watertight doors, escape hatches and outside access from everywhere on the boat, including the cabins. All safety and emergency equipment is meets international safety standards. She is equipped with life preservers, four life rafts, emergency transponders, and automatic satellite distress transmitters. All cabins and other rooms on the boat are fitted with smoke and fire detectors. There is plenty of Oxygen on board for dive emergencies if they occur.

How to Get There: With so many international air carriers flying directly into Phuket, or the capital city of Bangkok, Thailand there is no need to book your liveaboard trip as part of a package deal and pay hidden fees. The most cost effective way to dive the Similans is to pick a liveaboard of interest and then book your flights directly to Phuket International Airport or Bangkok, Thailand. Transfers to Phuket or Khao Lak from Bangkok by bus or air are abundant and also easy to schedule. After arriving you will be greeted at your hotel in Phuket or Khao Lak on the day of the liveaboard departure and transferred to your liveaboard, its that easy!
There are direct flights from Europe, Asia, and the United States. If your flying from the U.S. the most direct route is to fly to Bangkok and connect with a flight to Phuket.
