With a length of 22m, this hardwood mono-hulled motor yacht accommodate up to 12 divers in 6 Standard cabins, all with double bed and a single bunk bed. Bathroom facilities are shared. Thepnampa is not a luxury option, but with a small number of guests on board you can expect plenty of personal service and small dive groups.
The upper deck is where guests socialise and enjoy their meals in the open-air, enjoying the beautiful views. There is also a large BBQ grill where you can watch the chef cooking up a sizzling storm. You can enjoy the shaded space or if you are a sun-worshipper you can work on your tan in the sunbathing areas of the upper deck.
You can enjoy the spacious dive deck with spaces for 14 divers, 2 fresh water showers and 2 toilets on the deck, adding to your pre and post dive comfort.
