There is a dive "shop" on the Karaburi pier - although when I was there
in Jan it was not open. They did have a decent speed boat for the
service though.

Contacts for all the Karaburi "operators" (i.e. read desk, 2 chairs and
a telephone - as you have been Khao Lak before you will understand what
I mean when I say multiple "operators" have one boat)

Dive Leader Scuba Centre: +66 1 7375801 or +66 76 491867
Blue Sharks Dive Centre: +66 9 8741561
Kuraburi Greenview Travel: +66 76 401401 or +66 1 9581543

Thre are NO operators on the Surin themselves.

The area is largely business free due the Laem Son National park (thank
heavens for it) taking up nearly half the Phuket to Ranong coastline.

You can arrange to go on a liveaboard also.

Just a note: Karaburi is not Khao Lak - it does not cater for
Foriegners, so be prepared for a bit of an adventure if you go. If its
strictly the diving you are interested in then the Similans offers much
better diving in terms of beauty, clear water and amounts to be seen (am
not sure for how much longer though with the masses of divers that
Phuket and Khao Lak puts onto the islands - you will have seen this
already)

A pity I did not find this forum earlier! Too late to help, but here goes:

There's a dive company in Ranong called A-One diving who do 3 day trips to
Surin and Richelieu Rock:
