Incredible experience with good value

Tons of fun, great crew and a good price. I highly recommend this liveaboard. Also Ton the dive guide is incredibly good at his job. If you're lucky, you'll get him as your guide.

Unforgettable world-class high quality diving, superbe staff, and leaving with a "I definitely will come back" feeling for all the beauty, kindness and happiness experienced during this (too short) ex

Everything was so perfectly organized, nothing to worry about, all was served on a silver platter. Amazing staff, very professional and easy going at the same time. Delicious food. Missing absolutely nothing. Perfectly spent time, one of my best diving experience, but 4 days was way too short! When I go back, I will definitely choose the same boat, with the same crew if possible, and for at least 7, if not 11 days trip. In conclusion: excellent, perfect, amazing, beautiful, fun, wish it would never end ;)

Super recomendable!

Es un barco viejo, pero super bien mantenido. Muy cómodo y con aire acondicionado en los cuartos. La comida es excelente. Tanto los dive masters como el staff del barco son increíbles. Siempre contentos y ayudando en lo que sea. Muy bien estado del equipamiento. Buenos lugares para pasar el rato entre buceos. Agua fría y snacks siempre disponibles. Totalmente recomendable.

Best trip!

Everything was perfect! The dives were super fun and diverse and there was enough time to rest in between the dives. The boat was just what we needed. Enough space to chill, but not too luxurious, and that made it was very social. The crew was super amazing. The food was good and you always had a lot of options. And I’ve met amazing people on the trip! I have no downsides and I would definitely recommend to go on the tour!

Had a great time

It was my second time to do Similan liveaboard, and same as first time, I had a great time both in the underwater and on the boat. You will have a chance to meet people from all over the world who love diving. Equipment is always ready by boat crew, so basically you go diving, eating, and chilling all day long for 4 days in a row. Can't ask anymore.
