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.

5-star experience in the boat!
- The boat condition, such as the cabin, toilet, common area, was exactly like what is in the photo - clean, new and comfortable! - The service was impressive! There’s free transfer from/ to hotel. We’re welcomed by Steve with a free beer/ chocolate. The housekeeper would give a clean dry towel, hot face towel and warm drinks/ hydration shot after each dive. She also made our bed and replaced our shower towel every morning. - All dive staff was very friendly and professional. They took good care of every diver’s safety and ensured we still had fun. Dive sites were different from the stated itinerary because of the weather conditions. Some also took amazing underwater photographs of us. - Food was 5-star quality!!!! Probably one of the best kitchen in Thailand! There’s good mix of local Thai and western food in all 4 meals. Everyone was fed very well - Diving itself was incredible!! Beautiful colourful corals with lots of dynamics of marine lives! We saw 5-6 manta rays at Christmas Point (what a Christmas miracle!!), nurse shark, schooling of barracudas, octopuses, giant humphead parrotfish, heaps of trumpet fish, boxfish, etc. The dives and experience on the boat easily make it THE BEST liveaboard trip!!! Would highly recommend to everyone, no matter you’re beginners or experts!

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!

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
