(It only takes 3-4 days.)     Speedboat and slow boat tours are available; following are some of differences between them:   Speedboat

• Much faster journey, much shorter day
• Their speed means they can visit dive sites further away
• Speedboats are smaller vessels, so they can moor up closer to dive sites and visit some dive sites that larger boats can’t
• A bit more exciting than a slow boat!

  Slow boat

• Slow boats are big boats, which have more space to move around and they’re more stable in the water.
• They also typically have more divers on board making for a good atmosphere where everyone has 1 thing in common.
• Big boats tend to use less gasoline, so the tour prices are typically cheaper.
• Generally as there’s more space, tea, coffee, and snacks are provided and there are better facilities onboard such as a wash tank, shower, and proper sized toilet.
