Can’t recommend, gutted. Out of bathing water

Abit disappointed with this liveaboard trip I took with friends. The boat’s old but recently done up on the outside, so we thought it’d be fine – turns out not. Daily hassles like the water pump failing, no fresh water for showers or the dinghy engine packing up. Later found on Xiaohongshu (a chinese social networking and e-commerce platform) by other groups that it’d been stranded a couple years back, with video proof – probably explains the reno. Food was alright, but mostly Western flavours even though two-thirds of us were Asian – would’ve loved more Thai grub. Water supply was a nightmare. They said upfront there were three tanks and hot showers after every dive were fine if we didn’t waste it. Then on the second-last day, suddenly only one tank left – no water after dives when we were freezing. The guide Dennis tried blaming guests privately, saying some took too many showers and it’d never happened before. We all held off proper showers till all dives were done each day, and it turned out taps were left running in rooms on check-in, wasting loads. No proper check, just straight to accusing us. Dive briefings were rambling, full of the DM’s stories rather than useful stuff, DM should keep the briefings short and precise. Engine failure of the dinghy was frequent. Divers were all geared up but had to wait for them fixing it. The dinghy was old but they sometimes tried to fit two groups ie 10 people in it. Nitrox orders & usual tank weren’t filled properly either – empty tanks (didn’ refill) / refilled but less than 200 bar happened a couple times. Shower water quality was questionable on the second last day. Tap waters were dirty after they ‘fixed’ the water tank, making everyone hesitant to continue their dives on the last day, fear of having to face water shortage again. Indeed, the water supply went short after our second dive on the last day. Some divers may have been forced to end before scheduled dives unwillingly because of that. Crew were helpful overall, but the boat’s endless issues ruined it. Can’t recommend, gutted.

Super cost-effective, comprehensive diving experience beyond expectations!

It was a great liveaboard experience!The accommodation on the boat is certainly not comparable to the resort, and the bathroom facilities on the second floor deck room also have some small water pressure problems, but it was quickly solved after communicating with the dive guide, and other experiences are very good value for money!First of all, the diving part, our dive guide Golf is very professional, familiar with the dive site, introduces us, and leads us to find creatures to see. Richelieu Rock is very amazing, and the friends on the same boat all said that it is the TOP3 of their own life diving experience!Secondly, the food part, the chef on the Camic ship really amazed us, not only the Asian food is delicious, but the Western food is also very appetizing. I had a lot of fun eating four meals a day!In the end, the hygiene of the ship is still very good, and there are no cockroaches and mice mentioned in other information, which can be regarded as exceeding their expectations~All in all Camic is a very good value for money boat and is perfect as a liveaboard option for Similan!
