Friendly diving for singles
We had an all- Indonesian crew which felt appropriate. They looked after all my gear after every dive. Generally great food and certainly lots of it. The boat was comfortable and really spacious. As always, we are all responsible for our own safety and some of the dive sites have quirky strong currents.

Great Boat, Great People, Great Diving
The boat is comfortable and roomy. The food is very good. The diving in Similans was also great - we were lucky with the weather so that also helped. The support staff on board are friendly and very competent. The Dive Masters were all friendly, helpful and competent. I will likely return and can recommend it to others without hesitation.

Great trip around Similans thanks to amazing guide - good value given price!
Great experience, despite only so so weather. Nice tour around Similans and Richelieu, and especially given reasonable price a good option. Cabin and sanitary comfort is not mega high, but totally sufficient for a dive trip. Ship was very clean and comfortable at all times thanks to energetic crew.

Great overall experience, meet lots of people and were treated like royalty by the staff.
Overall great experience. I liked that the divers came from all over the world and had been many other places to dive. But I did not think the Similan Islands were that great of diving. I have been many other places that I thought were better. The most frusterating was that the dive sites were crowded! But the crew made up for the short comings in the diving.
