the best break
this trip has truly been an amazing experience. the schedule was relaxed and comfortable while allowing us to still be able to see so much. the dive guides were so much fun, especially my instructor pang that made me laugh so hard even while I was underwater. it was so lovely to put any stress aside and just wake up, dive, eat, nap and repeat for the whole day. would definitely recommend this trip to anyone seeking time away from a hectic lifestyle.

Brilliant experience of Thailand dive sites
The trip was fantastic! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to dive the similian and surin islands. The crew were fantastic, the food was delicious and the dives were beautiful. Dorms and rooms are simple but functional. Worth noting a long wait on the boat between longer trips.

Excellent experience with many lovely memories made!
Richelieu Rock and Batfish Rock dives were marvelous, and the dives were well-paced. Food was super delicious (fruits were served regularly and authentic Thai food) and the crew's teamwork was impeccable! Kiddos to everyone for making our first liveaboard fuss-free and memorable. Go with the Sea Dragon team if you want a great bang for your buck!

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!

Great time, great value
We had a great time on board. The food was good, our dive instructor and crew were great, and the diving (especially Richelieu Rock) was amazing. The quarters were a bit cramped, but it encouraged everyone to go to the common area and interact, have fun with each other, and relax. In the future, improving the bedding could be one easy improvement that we thought would go a long way. The boat was very well-organized and had plenty planned to keep you busy most of the time - including beach trips, on-board BBQs, and board games. It's worth noting that although this listing says free internet, that's only if you have a cell phone with service -- there is no WiFi on-board. This isn't a "luxury" boat for sure, but if you want good diving, good staff, and a ton of fun, it's an amazing value -- my wife and I both considered our 3-day trip on the Andaman to be one of the best experiences of our 2-week Thailand vacation.

An all-round great exchange experience
It was 7 great days for me. The 22 dives were so well timed that I didn't feel completely exhausted even after 4 dives in one day. There was a lot to see under water, both very small shrimps or snails but also turtles, moray eels, large schools of fish and corals in all colors. The cook brought excellent dishes to the table, people with food intolerances were also taken care of, and of course there were also vegetarian and vegan dishes.Lydia as a supervisor was always friendly and contributed a lot to the good atmosphere on board. My two dive guides Charm and Nin ensured calm, relaxed dives and showed you again and again what there was to see. It was my first liveaboard and completely convinced me.
