MV Jazz sold and leaving Thailand

So long and thanks for all the fish

We have just been informed by the owner of MV Jazz that the boat has been sold to a Singaporean group who will take the boat to Singapore where it will be refitted as a tec diving boat for wreck diving.

When I say we were informed I mean we received a brief one paragraph email saying sorry for the inconvenience. No phone call, no prior warning.

Now all the customers who are booked on the Jazz for this season, which starts next week, have to try and find a new liveaboard or completely change their travel plans. Not cool. It's particularly difficult for divers booked on the Burma trips as there is only one other boat diving Burma and the Nautica runs on different dates and is more expensive.

This is frustrating to say the least but it's not the first time and I doubt it'll be the last. Grrr....
