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.

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. Very nice social area with shade so not cooped up in cabin all day. Would definitely do again. Ideal live aboard experience for beginners as well.

It was an amazing trip. Definitely the best food made by P Oil, every meal or snack was delicious. The boat crew and our guide (P Ton) were so kind and helpful. There wasn't a thing left behind. We have experienced amazing diving thanks to the choosen dive sites and our guide whom perfectly knew where to bring us! (He made sure to avoid the crowded divers spots, which wasnt really a thing during the liveaboard anyways) We were lucky to see a manta ray and had the pleasure to dive privately along with the manta for full 5 minutes, thanks to P Ton asking us to drop our group on another spot

Harmonious, familiar liveaboard with a great mix of experienced dive guides & boat crew as well as involvement of all guests!!
- Dives at Richelieu Rock were spectacular, especially the fact that the most experienced diving group with PSak dived into the strong current again at the end (where most of the fish were, of course)
Recommended for
Dive guides all very competent and great mix; good harmony and family atmosphere among each other (very authentic and not artificial) and also with the guests. Boat crew is also very competent and has everything under control (especially the top kitchen). very good mix of fun diving and attention to all safety aspects with a great supervisor Lucinda.

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.

Well thought-out, humorous and yet professional.
When a whale shark was spotted at Richelieu Rock, the crew immediately changed our plans and we made the next dive there. And yay, we actually saw him!!The boat was well thought out and offered good retreats and mega comfortable chillout zones even when fully occupied.The crew was humorous, but professional through and through.

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%!

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 trip with a professional operation
Boat that's been operating for years, and it shows. Great professional operation that knows what it's doing, which shows in many things: the food is great and what you need to keep going, the gear is well maintained, the boat and crew operate as a well oiled machine to get you to dive sites when you need to be there, the bathrooms are spacious and enough for those on board (with warm showers), the boat has enough sunny and shady spots for everyone to relax so as not to be on each other's lip all the time. Generally great dive briefings (though that depends on who is briefing). Points off for comfort as the bunks' mattresses are not exactly cushy - repeat customers know to bring an inflatable mattress to put on top. All in all a great experience, amazing value for money. I would book again without hesitation.

Spacious bunk rooms with enough privacy; professional and long running dive operation; variety and quality of food is great.

First liveaboard and ready for more!
I was apprehensive at first about going on a liveaboard on my own but I am thankful that the trip was really enjoyable - be it the good company, good food, or great dive sites. It was fun interacting with fellow divers, hearing about their diving experiences and travel adventures, and sharing a few drinks with them. The dive guides took care of us (and the marine environment) and carried out detailed dive briefings so that we could enjoy the dives. Expectations for Richelieu Rock were high and I'm glad it didn't disappoint. It was really awe-inspiring to see large shoals of barracudas and schools of tunas, and not forgetting the cute anemone fishes and beautiful corals. Another highlight of the trip was probably the night dive. The briefing was hilarious but conveyed the safety messages across effectively. Thank you SeaDragon for such a memorable trip!
