Fab trip on Bavaria to Similan & Surin Islands
The dive sites were very well populated with marine life and corals. The boat itself wasn’t the most spacious but more than enough space with a great dive deck and sun lounge and eating areas.

The food. The diving. Value for money.

Great Experience!!
I had a great time on the MV Bavaria. World class diving with great dive masters. The food was amazing and the entire crew worked hard to ensure you were enjoying the trip. The dive deck crew was great, helping any time you needed a hand with gear, etc. The rooms were clean and air conditioned. I loved relaxing on the sun deck with a book during surface time and then chilling in the dining area with a beer after the evening dive. This trip was well organized, I’d definitely do it again!!

Love!
It was awesome. I enjoyed myself so much. Thomas was a great dive master who was constantly giving me tips on how to improve my diving skills. Everyone was really helpful, always made sure to assist me with my equipment and made sure I got on/off the boat safely before and after my dives.
