Unforgettable Liveaboard experience with awesome dive guides, crew and food.
Blue Dolphin was an excellent liveaboard that we would recommend to anyone else wishing to dive the Similan and Surin Islands. The Dive guides and crew were excellent. Safety was high on the list of priorities. Food was absolutely amazing and the cooks went out of their way to cater to anyone who was vegetarian. Richlieu Rock was unforgettable. We would certainly be happy to dive with them again.

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!

Dive, eat, sleep, repeat!
This liveaboard exceeded our expectations. The crew went above and beyond to give us the best trip possible, even with some crummy weather. Pit was an awesome dive master and helped us get our advanced cert - and then we added on our nitrox cert too. One big perk of this boat is the small diving groups - my husband and I were just with Pit. The food was sooooo good and I loved the warm towel and drink after every dive. Boots and Sam ran a safe and organized boat, and then were fun to chat with after dinner. We loved our trip and highly recommend the Blue Dolphin!

Phantastic 4 days
We booked the 4 nights tours around the Similan islands, and our time on the Blue Dolphin was just perfect! The boat is newly refurbished and spacious, catering to smaller groups and taking only 4 divers per guide. Our en-suite cabin was big enough for our suitcases, with a hot shower and a good AC. The instructors Alex and Brie were wonderful, taking care of everything and making us feel safe and well informed. The crew was amazing, always wearing a big smile and feeling us more than welcome, and the food was plentiful and always just great - and we were fed 5 times a day ;-) the dives were amazing, too, plenty of fish and marine life, different sites for all levels. The equipment was in great shape, too - everything was really phantastic, we enjoyed our 4 days thoroughly and can absolutely recommend the Blue Dolphin.
