Richelieu Rock
Nice trip managed with care by the crew, despite the less than ideal weather conditions. Spectacular marine life only at Richelieu Rock

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!

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!

The dive staff and crew treated us like royalty. Amazing!
What can we say? What an amazing experience. The dive team Steve, Will and Ciara did an amazing job above and beneath the water. We feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet interesting and fun fellow divers. We started as strangers but left as friends, with both passengers and dive crew. If you're thinking of doing a live aboard in the Andaman Sea, I would strongly suggest choosing the Blue Dolphin.

Great laid-back diving on nice boat and attentative crew
I was really glad we got to dive Richelieu Rock 3 times. That was totally worth it. Thanks to Steve for taking it easy and giving enough slack for us to explore around on our own while still keeping an eye on just in case :)

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.
