Amazing trip - I can only recommend it!
The boat was new and clean with plenty of space in our room and on deck. The crew was incredibly helpful and the whole team was super friendly, always looking after you. The food was delicious too! We had the most amazing time diving some of the most beautiful, pristine divesites with mantas, sharks and big schools of fish. Cheers to our guide Alex and to the whole team for some unforgettable moments on board and under water!

An absolute must-visit
The trip was fantastic and outdid our expectations. Steve, Ciarra and Will were very hospitable and also very knowledgeable about the area, and were able to show us some amazing marine life. Ciarra was our dive guide and she’s so lovely to dive with. The food was delicious and we were extremely well fed on this trip - with breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack in-between (all delicious btw), you couldn’t go hungry at any time. We will definitely be visiting again and diving with the team at Blue Dolphin - highly recommended!

The perfect first liveaboard
Richelieu is definitely the best dive spot, and the people are all so nice. I didn't feel any discomfort during the trip because all Blue Dolphin managers are very kind and helpful.

5-star experience in the boat!
- The boat condition, such as the cabin, toilet, common area, was exactly like what is in the photo - clean, new and comfortable! - The service was impressive! There’s free transfer from/ to hotel. We’re welcomed by Steve with a free beer/ chocolate. The housekeeper would give a clean dry towel, hot face towel and warm drinks/ hydration shot after each dive. She also made our bed and replaced our shower towel every morning. - All dive staff was very friendly and professional. They took good care of every diver’s safety and ensured we still had fun. Dive sites were different from the stated itinerary because of the weather conditions. Some also took amazing underwater photographs of us. - Food was 5-star quality!!!! Probably one of the best kitchen in Thailand! There’s good mix of local Thai and western food in all 4 meals. Everyone was fed very well - Diving itself was incredible!! Beautiful colourful corals with lots of dynamics of marine lives! We saw 5-6 manta rays at Christmas Point (what a Christmas miracle!!), nurse shark, schooling of barracudas, octopuses, giant humphead parrotfish, heaps of trumpet fish, boxfish, etc. The dives and experience on the boat easily make it THE BEST liveaboard trip!!! Would highly recommend to everyone, no matter you’re beginners or experts!

A perfect trip and wonderful experience
A manta ray at Koh Bon; the adventure of the ridge at Koh Tachai; of course Richelieu Rock, where we did not less than three dives but equally being in company of the charming international and Thai crew. It felt like a trip among old time friends.
