Awesome diving boat experience
- of course Richelieu Rock - a morning at Elephant Head Rock, beautiful beach, nice climb to the rocks, pristine waters - Boat has a big sun deck (half is covered though) to enjoy sea breeze or sun or both. - small boat hence not too many divers (we were 10 but can accommodate 14 max).

Overall, the liveaboard was happy and full of good memories.
Although the boat is smaller, it may shake more, but it is also because it is smaller and there are fewer guests, it is simpler, everyone can be more familiar with it, meet friends of different nationalities, every staff and dive guide on the boat is very good, there is no discomfort, I am very happy to choose this boat as my first liveaboard dive. One of the nights, the dive guide arranged for us to have a very special experience on the island. The best dive site is Richelieu Rock National Park, which is a must-visit dive site in the middle of the sea, with excellent coral reefs and ecology below.

The food is delicious, and the most anticipated thing is the food every time I come back. The staff is friendly and considerate. The submarine guide is very kind and humorous.

Ticks all the boxes!
This was our first liveaboard, and we are so happy we chose this boat! The crew was fantastic, the food was amazing and the dive sites where fantastic. The guides and crew always tried to make sure we where in the water at different times than the other boats, so we where mostly alone on the dive sites. Overall a really really good experience!

Great time on Andaman Sea!
Great and challenging dives, the highlight was the Richelieu Rock!The boat is not new, but it is still in good condition and offers the usual comfort for the region. As with many other boats, the Camic does not have a nitrox compressor, the oxygen is added. No problem in itself, but each filling costs about 8€ (a flat rate for all fillings is offered).The crew was very nice and helpful at all times, the dives were challenging and professionally executed. Special praise goes to the cook - the Thai food was excellent.We would take the boat again.

Great experience on Camic with the best team!
The best moment that we share was an amazing view, dive sites, we have felt ourselves in security. Everything was good organised till the last detail. We have spoted a lot of different live spieces under the water and learn a lot of new, cause we were the new divers.

An unforgettable liveaboard trip with a great crew, delicious food, well-planned dives, and wonderful underwater moments.
We had a great experience on the Liveaboard Camic. The boat is well maintained and in very good condition. We stayed in one of the spacious upper deck cabins, which was comfortable and offered plenty of room. One small suggestion for improvement would be the sundeck — it could benefit from additional loungers or bean bags to make relaxing between dives even more enjoyable. The crew was fantastic, always friendly and helpful, and the food was consistently delicious. A special thanks to the dive guides, Dennis and Tik, who were incredibly friendly and worked very well together as a team. The dive sites were well chosen, and the dive planning was accurate and well organized. Dennis even kept an eye out for octopus for me, which I really appreciated. Overall, a wonderful liveaboard experience that I would happily recommend.

Familiar, easy, well organized, super friendly crew amazing food!
A fantastic experience from start to finish! Everything was superbly organised, from transport (pick-up and the shuttle to the next hotel afterwards – wherever that might be!) right through to the daily dives! The crew were always friendly and helpful, and we carefully checked the Nitrox levels together before every dive. There was always something to eat between dives! Heavenly :-) The only downside is that the beds are rock-hard (by European standards), and there should be more lounge cushions on the sun deck – getting hold of one was a game of chance! Despite extensive research beforehand, you have to be prepared for the fact that, despite the incredibly healthy coral reefs and vast schools of fish, there simply aren’t any large marine creatures here (anymore)! But that has nothing to do with the boat itself and is just nature! For me, there couldn’t have been a better first time on a liveaboard

Unser Trip war wirklich toll - rundum zurfrieden.
Das Highlicht war definitiv der Whalshark am Richelieu Rock. Aber dafür kann die Crew der Camic nichts ;) Genauso, wie sie nichts dafür könnten, wenn wir nichts gesehen hätten. Generell ein schönes, geräumiges Boot, das zwar nicht neu aber wirklich gut in Schuss ist. Einzig die Matraze der Doppelkabine dürfte weicher sein. Und vielleicht nimmt man nächstes Mal ein Zodiac mit, das nicht winzig ist und Luft verliert - daher der eine Stern Abzug beim Boot/Komfort. Aber alles in allem ein genialer Trip. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Fabulous experience
This was my first liveaboard and I didn't quite know what to expect. Any expectations I might have had with respect to comfort (cabins), food on board, competence of the dive guides, selection of the dive spots, etc. have easily been surpassed. We were a group of only 14 divers and it was easy to bond with the group and the staff. The food was delicious and the diving in the Similans absolutely awesome. I can recommend the trip without any hesitation.
