The real highlight of the trip was Richelieu Reef - unbelievable the amount of life there.

Ekk our dive guide was amazing and showed us so much. Crew were brilliant at getting your ready for the dive and making sure you got on and off the boat safely and in the water in the right place. Dive sites were in such good condition and full of life. Hire kit was good quality.

Outstanding

Just spent 5 nights and 6 days aboard the Deep Andaman Queen travelling through the Similan Islands Thailand. Amazing trip and will definitely do it again with this crew. Diving - sensational. So many fish you would have to shoo them away to take a photo of something. Massive variety and more fish I’ve ever seen travelling around different countries diving. 4 dives a day and each better than the last. Crew - second to none. Steve runs the boat like a true professional and with 20 years diving and instructing in the Similan Islands, his knowledge of the area is remarkable. The rest of the crew are equally brilliant. From the cook through to the dive guides, everyone was exceptional. Special mention to our dive guide Nui ❤️ Food - you will not lose weight on this trip. The variety, freshness and quality of the food was incredible. With a Thai dish and a westerner dish at each meal, everyone is catered for. Food better than most restaurants in Thailand. Rooms - we travelled as a couple and the room had enough space for us to be comfortable with each room having its own ensuite. Clean and well kept. I recommend ear buds as the generator can be a little noisy if you are a light sleeper but ear buds blocked it out no worries. Boat - plenty of space to relax and chill between dives. 3 different decks and 2 are shaded. Spotlessly clean and well maintained. Overall I couldn’t fault the trip. The other guests were great. The dive briefings thorough and informative. Safety was a big factor and nothing was too much trouble. We will dive with Steve and his crew any day of the week.

My Spectacular Trip on DAQ

The Chef put on a theme meal every night that catered for the guests cultures and amazed us every time (Thai Night, Japanese Night, American night, BBQ night, etc) The crew were very experienced and excited to show us the sites. The briefings were detailed and fun and gave a wealth of history to the locations. The facility’s were clean, spacious and comfortable. The Dive sites were tremendous!!!!! I can confidently speak for all the guests on this trip by saying that the chef and the boat crew were amazing and made every day a unique experience!! Special mention to Nui, Steve & the chef. Thank you Marshall

Wonderful experience with amazing team

We had an unforgettable experience aboard the Deep Andaman Queen. Being not so experienced divers (10 dives) we were a bit anxious while getting on board but our dive masters Vinny and Stefan took great care of us and we felt comfortable very quickly thanks to their great sense of humour. They gave us great tips for our dives to make the most out of them. Bobby made sure that we all were having a good time in and out of the boat (He even make sure that we arrived safely to our next hotel) and shared some awesome pictures of our dives. The boat staff was also very efficient and helped us getting ready to dive and getting back onboard. Overall an excellent experience made unique by amazing dive masters and staff.
