Highlights
The Aqua is a 32.5-meter steel liveaboard offering space, comfort, and adventure for up to 24 guests across 12 fully air-conditioned cabins. Guests can choose from 2 Master, 3 Deluxe, and 7 Standard cabins—all with en suite bathrooms, safety boxes, and either main deck sea views or cozy lower deck comfort.
Guests can unwind in the large indoor saloon, complete with an 85” TV screen and hundreds of movies—ideal for relaxing after a day of diving. The atmosphere on board is casual yet well-organized, and the culinary offerings are a highlight, with a varied menu that fuses local flavors with international favorites. Whether you're refueling with a hearty breakfast or enjoying a leisurely sunset dinner, the service is warm and attentive.
The Aqua offers two remarkable itineraries. The flagship 7-day/6-night expedition explores both the North and South Andaman Sea, visiting top dive sites including Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Richelieu Rock, Phi Phi, Koh Haa, and Hin Daeng Hin Muang—an itinerary unique to the Aqua. For divers short on time, the 5-day/4-night cruise focuses on the northern treasures of Similan, Koh Bon, Tachai, Richelieu Rock, and the Boonsoong Wreck. With up to 22 dives, both trips provide the chance to encounter whale sharks, manta rays, healthy reefs, and thriving marine life in some of Thailand’s most iconic and off-the-beaten-path dive sites.

Great moment in Andaman
Unforgettable MV Aqua liveaboard at Richelieu Rock: epic dives with whale sharks, barracuda barrages, and 30m visibility in pristine Andaman waters. Best chef ever served Thai seafood feasts and custom veggie delights rivaling Bangkok's top spots—every meal a highlight under the stars. Flawless butler anticipated every need: nitrox setups, chilled smoothies post-dive, cozy cabins with essential oils for ultimate relaxation. Pure bliss blending adrenaline rushes and luxury pampering—10/10, highly recommend for Similan adventurers!

Exciting yet relaxed journey to the Similans
The diving trip to the Similans was beautiful, the guests on board were very relaxed and the groups were very well divided. Our guide was very friendly and hard-working, Jerome organized and briefed the boat very well. The rooms were okay in terms of cleanliness, the food was super tasty. The diving equipment was as good as new and in very good condition.

Simply perfect – an unforgettable liveaboard experience that exceeded all expectations.
1. Outstanding service and crew If we could, we would give 6 out of 5 stars. The overall package was absolutely amazing and exceeded all our expectations. Service boy Tum was simply the best – he knew what I wanted to drink even before I did. He was always attentive and somehow magically produced everything one could possibly need, whether it was a hair tie, a toothpick, or even nail clippers 😉. 2. Excellent food and comfort The food was unbeatable. We were spoiled from A to Z with plenty of delicious, varied meals every day. As a vegetarian, it was absolutely no problem at all – I was always well taken care of and had plenty of options. 3. Diving, guides, and organization The organization was exceptional from start to finish. We were picked up on time, boarded immediately, and the trip started smoothly. Every day was perfectly structured, and the entire crew worked together seamlessly. The dive sites were beautiful – not only Richelieu Rock, but also other top sites with stunning coral growth and no other divers around. Our dive guide Gai was incredibly calm, spotted an amazing amount of macro life, and made every dive relaxed and stress-free. We also rented some equipment (wetsuit, BCD, and regulator), all of which was in excellent condition and very good quality. Everything about this trip was perfect. From the flawless organization and outstanding service to the amazing dives, high-quality rental equipment, and incredible food, every detail was taken care of. We felt completely relaxed and pampered throughout the entire journey. This liveaboard truly delivers an exceptional experience, and we would book it again without hesitation.

Top-notch Trip
Absolutely amazing crew and the service they provided was above and beyond. The food they served was incredible and served in a timely manner. I can't compliment the crew enough,, they look after the guests at every turn and after each dive. You will know one that will come up with the right drink you want after a dive.

Wonderful experience despite having been with other operators. The diving is superb.
Couldn't have had better crew. Caring and all chipped in to help each other. The chef was amazing though a mixture of Asian and more international food would have been appreciated. Tam was a wonder, constantly watching and anticipating people's needs, bringing electrolytes, drinks, toothpicks, clearing plates etc with a cheeky smile. Cabins were spacious and comfortable. A couple of wall hooks would have been a good addition. (Magnetic ones didn't work). Plenty of railing clips available. I don't know if it was just our trip or a usual thing (I suspect the latter due to the presence of a senior Chinese crew member) but a group of Chinese guests seemed to get preferential treatment. First to the buffet, first to dive, first to be briefed etc. It became a 'joke' with other passengers. Not their fault, More due to the senior crew member's attitude which was also negative towards some of the dive guides. (I shared a cabin with a lovely Chinese girl). Dive deck was a little cramped and required patience. Crew did their best to assist.

Five star experience!
The staff worked well together providing excellent service at every moment. The chef is incredible and each meal had various options. I was pleased with just about every facet of the experience and I would book this boat again. I slept comfortably and in a clean cabin. Five stars!

Diving was tough because we were surrounded by a lot of Chinese people, but it was made up for by the great dive guides and delicious food.
The diving in Similan Islands in February was undoubtedly excellent, as the sea itself is beautiful. However, there were many Chinese divers with little diving experience, so I felt like I was wasting my time worrying about them, which hindered my own diving. Compared to other liveaboards, the food and facilities seemed to be cost-effective.
