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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Wonderful experience!
Wonderful experience! Although we weren’t lucky enough to see manta rays or whalesharks, the diving experience with Blue Dolphin was truly amazing with great food, service and friendly staff. My favorite was definitely Richelieu Rock, you will certainly enjoy large schools of fish swimming around you and other rich marine life there.
