Pufferfish contain tetrodotoxin, a substance that makes them foul tasting and often lethal to fish. To humans, tetrodotoxin is deadly, up to 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide. There is enough toxin in one pufferfish to kill 30 adult humans, and there is no known antidote.
Here at Aquamarine Divers we pride ourselves on being one of premier liveaboard operators in South East Asia; we own and operate our own five star luxury liveaboard boat, MV Philkade. We can take you further to enjoy scuba diving. What are you waiting for?
Liveaboard Thailand
The Similan Islands, including Ko Bon, Ko Tachai, and the world famous Richelieu Rock, are hugely popular with the world wide dive community, and rightly so!! These protected areas are home to pristine soft coral gardens, teeming with fish and invertebrate life, as well as being a routine stop for migrating pelagic species such as the majestic Whale Shark and Manta Ray. But there are also other areas that can be dived on a liveaboard trip from Phuket. The Surin Islands to the North, and Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, and Ko Haa to the south each offer something different, but equally impressive - Schedule & Price Nov 08-May 09 - Diving Thailand - Similan liveaboard 4D/4N - Similan liveaboard 4D/5N - Similan liveaboard 5D/6N - Similan & Surin liveaboard 6D/7N - Similan & Southern Islands 6D/7N

Liveaboard Boat Charter
Philkade is also available for full boat charter. We are a boat that caters for all needs, whether it is diving, snorkeling or just relaxing in luxury, we can change the atmosphere and feel of the boat to suit all. The boat's many amenities and spacious decks made us the ideal choice for National Geographic, who used the boat as their research base when checking the soft coral reefs of Thailand. Even with the large amounts of camera and research equipment that they had onboard there was always a place to relax. Please contact usfor more details
