A high-quality, enjoyable diving trip
We are very happy to have been able to enjoy our diving trip with the Blue Dolphin. Thanks to the crew, an experienced and energetic team of professionals, for offering a wonderful trip for us. Special thanks to Nina, a dedicated dive instructor, for guiding us to explore the wonders in the marine life of Similan Islands.

Four days of excellent, friendly diving.
Extremely high value voyage! This was my second liveaboard and everything substantially exceed my expectations. All of Chef Ann's food was delicious but anything pork was a step above! Trip director Ric had everything organized very well, was super easy going and friendly, and managed to have us on time or early for almost every dive and transit. Diving in Paan's group of other AOW divers was a blast. Briefings were clear and detailed, and his navigation of the sites was flexible and professional to help maximize bottom time and chances of seeing things unique to each site. Also, shout out to the gas tech for mixing nitrox to within better than 0.5% of 32% O2 every time - very impressive!

This was my first liveabord and I enjoyed it immensely. Everything was very well organized, efficient and taken care of. The dive guides were great. The dive sites were great. The food was amazing. Everyone was very welcoming, friendly and just wanted to dive and have a great time. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone who has ever considered diving in the Similan islands.

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.

Great liveaboard experience!
Crew were great - after each dive you would be handed a hot towel and a drink, which was much appreciated. Food was fantastic and you would never go hungry on this liveaboard. Dive staff were very experienced and is obvious that they place safety as the number one priority. Highlights would be having a leopard shark swim right up to us which was amazing. Richelieu rock is also an amazing dive site and is teeming with all kinds of marine life.

Solid dive trip!
Great dive trip! The boat is well-organized and has lots of nice touches - hot towels after the dives, well-stocked medical kit, great snacks and drinks in between dives, just to name a few. The boat and dive crew are top-notch, and conservation- and safety-focused. Highly recommend

Nest Liveaboard in the Andaman Sea
I've been on different boats around the Similans and in other places and this one topped the others. They are just a little bit better in everything. They even made Dinghi drops comfortable for me. the guides were all instructors and very competent, they briefed and debriefed the dive groups individually. everyone on the boat was always in a good mood and super friendly. I'll be back!
