The Junk Liveaboards has teamed up with Oceans For All Foundation to organise two special Leopard/Zebra Shark Expeditions. The first 8-12 April 2021 and the second outing 4-8 May 2021.
The aim of the two dive liveaboard trips is to assess the current numbers of Leopard Sharks in the Andaman Sea around Southern Phuket and the Similan Islands. The conclusions of this research will provide the basis for a Conservation Petition.
The petition will be presented to the Thai government with the ultimate goal of protecting the Leopard Sharks and their habitat in Thailand.
Anyone with a diving qualification is welcome to join these 4 night/5 day Expeditions. The first trip in April ventures out to the Similan & Surin Islands, the second expedition in May will focus on the area south of Phuket & Koh Phi Phi. Are you a fan of Leopard Sharks and do you want to make a difference? Be part of the change for Leopard Sharks!
The Junk will be the designated research vessel for both Expeditions. She accommodates 18 guests in 6 cabins with air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms including hot showers. There is a choice of twin/doubles, triples or quad cabins.
The Junk Liveaboards transports guests in two classic wooden boats on diving liveaboard holidays across the Andaman Sea in Thailand and Myanmar: The Junk and The Phinisi. For bookings and more information on the Leopard Shark Expeditions, contact: info@thejunk.cominfo@thejunk.com
The most traditional and unique liveaboard diving experience in Thailand's Similan Islands and Myanmar's Mergui Archipelago. The Junk and the Phinisi liveaboards both individually offer a unique diving experience in Thailand and Myanmar.

She carries up to 18 divers in 6 a/c cabins, all with private bathroom and hot showers. She offers a choice of double, triple or quad cabins. S/Y June Hong Chian Lee, or The Junk, as she is better known, offers 4 and 6 night trips from November to May each year around the Similan and Surin Islands.
Then we have the Phinisi, a classic luxury liveaboard custom built for diving in Indonesia in 2007. She also carries 18 divers in her 7 a/c cabins each with private bathrooms and hot showers. Her cabin choices are double, twin or quad cabins.
Also known as S/Y Cheng I Sao, after a legendary fearless female Chinese pirate, the Phinisi offers trips from November to May each year, on 4, 6 and 10 night trips around the Similan & Surin Islands as well as Mergui Archipelago.
