Newly built for 2018, the Smiling Seahorse liveaboard offers fantastic dive trips to Thailand and Myanmar. The 3-night 'Best of Thailand' trip showcases some of the best dive areas in the Andaman Sea, including the Surin Islands, Richelieu Rock, Koh Tahcai & Koh Bon. The Myanmar dive trips are a fantastic way to explore this newly opened dive area and to get up close with manta rays, eagle rays, mobula rays, leopard sharks and cool macro critters such as frogfish, seahorses, and pipefish. The spacious dive deck at the back of the boat allows ample room for kitting up and gear storage and a dedicated photography room.

Highly recommended, exclusive services , friendly crew member, well organised diving.

In a summary, the trip was adventurous and amazing! We are pampered throughout the week and am amazed by the : Services Special mention on the services of the crews, they will try to fulfil the requests of customer with their best. They take note on each customer special needs and preferences very well. Owner Franck also provide very detailed briefing on every important matters and is always there to reach out. Diving The diving are well organised which you wont feel packed or waiting too long for you turn at the dive deck. We are divided into smaller dive groups at the ratio to dive guide at 4:1 and each group will take a rotation of sequence, which is fair and further enhances the overall diving experience. Dive guides are also very attentive and take safety precautions as priority. Furthermore, the boat and cabins are at the above average standard as this is not the luxury boat which also justify the price to be paid for.

A memorable experience

A wonderful experience, with pristine dive sites teeming with life and color (lots of macro), outstanding dive masters, a kind and attentive crew, delicious meals, and a perfect, beautifully designed boat. Crossing into Burmese waters adds to the sense of escape and adventure, making this cruise a truly unique experience.

Thrilled to have dived the Andaman sea with the friendly professionals of the Smiling Seahorse!

Such diversity of dive sites and creatures, pointed out so as not to be missed by James, the informative talks each day by Gavin, and the joy of new fellow divers on board, and the hard working crew amazed.
