Wonderful liveaboard experience
One of the guys in our group was an inexperienced diver. The dive crew watched him carefully with one on one supervision which was very much appreciated. We did the Nitrox and Advanced Open Water certification courses while on board with our dive master Bon. The dives were highly varied and amazing. Shout out to the kitchen crew who cooked us up some great meals in a tiny galley. The only issue we had was difficulty communicating with the boat through Liveaboard.com prior to the trip. I would recommend communicating directly with Big Blue Diving Khao Lak through WhatsApp and email in the final few weeks prior to the trip to confirm transportation and equipment rental details, etc.

An absolute must-visit
The trip was fantastic and outdid our expectations. Steve, Ciarra and Will were very hospitable and also very knowledgeable about the area, and were able to show us some amazing marine life. Ciarra was our dive guide and she’s so lovely to dive with. The food was delicious and we were extremely well fed on this trip - with breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack in-between (all delicious btw), you couldn’t go hungry at any time. We will definitely be visiting again and diving with the team at Blue Dolphin - highly recommended!
