The boat crew was amazing. They help you with everything and keep the boat really clean! The guides are great fun people and take very good care of you. Eveything was organised so well! This was my first live-aboard but I would definately go with them again. Oh, and did I mention the food? The one woman cooked for 20 people and everything tasted so good!!

Best boat food to date!
Absolutely phenomenal trip. I recommend people go even if it's not peak season because the diving is still great. The guides were amazing and the chef was absolutely unparalleled. The only thing I would recommend is maybe a little bit of a softer mattress because those are pretty hard. Hoping it'd be a return customer that's for sure!

Unforgettable moments with a top team, excellent organization and impeccable supervision!
An exceptional experience from start to finish! The dives were absolutely beautiful, with varied sites and stunning marine life. The organization was impeccable: everything was perfectly coordinated, from clear briefings to respected schedules. A huge congratulations to the team, both super professional, warm and always very caring. Safety was a constant priority, which allowed us to dive with peace of mind. And what about the food on board... A real treat at every meal!Special mention to our divemaster Aydan, whose passion, kindness and wise advice really marked our stay. An unforgettable adventure that I recommend 100%!

Such a great liveaboard! Friendly and helpful staff and guides, options for 8 days or 4. Really good value for money and i liked that they had snacks available all the time and drinks. I stayed in the dorm cabin and it was pretty good, i brought my backpacking matress. If youre over 6ft tall tho you might not fit. Ship has a couple full cabins.

This liveaboard was the highligt of our trip to Thailand
Beside the amazing staff and the people onboard we saw a lot of corals and different colorful fish and slogs. We will definitely do a Liveaboard in the Similan islands again!

The staff from Sea Dragon was beyond amazing and we had the best group with such lovely different people from all over the world. The best thing though was the cook Pi Oi 🩷 She cooked the most delicious food and was so funny at the barbecue (which became an actual party).

My wife and I had a wonderful experience doing our first Liveaboard with a great crew/ company!
Highly recommend doing a liveaboard with Sea Dragon! Very professional instructors/ guides, gave thorough briefings. Clean boat, good food. Fun experience, worth it! Only recommendation is to update the website requirements divers need prior to booking, such as needing to have 30m deep dive certification (you can receive it through them on the trip but budget for an additional cost).

The trip was the first liveaboard ever for us and in summary just a wonderful experience. The 4 days flew by. They were well supplied around the clock and the prices on board for alcohol were absolutely reasonable. On the last evening there was a great BBQ buffet with cocktails. The dives were well organized and were excellently accompanied by the guides. We were completely satisfied and will definitely choose this type of trip again.

Great value for money
Great value for money. The food is amazing. The crew and dive guides are awesome. Stephan led the crew and I had Svante as my guide. Super awesome. The sites were great. I got to swim side by side with a turtle , spent a few minutes watching an octopus kaleidoscope. This is not a place for large pelagics… but the rock formations and fishes are awesome. 😎 Don’t expect wifi to work because cell towers are rare and star link is banned. Overall, for what I spent, it was worth it. I’ll do it again.

This is an excellent company - dive guides really take safety and the environment seriously compared to some of the other groups we saw. The food is awesome.
