fantastic experience on our first liveaboard, highly recommend!
i've been on many boats, just not a Diving live aboard. this boat is very well maintained, no musty or grimy areas, all clean and functioning. As for diving, our guide was professional, knowledgeable, and very personable and fun! All of the crew were so nice and helpful. warm aromatherapy washcloths after every dive, delicious food...we were spoiled!! Cannot recommend this boat and crew enough.

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!

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!

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.

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 :)
