If you are an experienced diver, absolutely do NOT hesitate to book the south trip with Deep Andaman Queen. Seriously. This trip is fantastic!
If you are an experienced diver, absolutely do NOT hesitate to book the south trip with Deep Andaman Queen. Seriously. This trip is fantastic. From the very first email everything just clicks. Communication beforehand is spot on, the hotel pickup is right on time with a super friendly driver, the welcome at the pier feels warm and relaxed, and the boat briefing is clear, structured, and actually enjoyable to listen to. Once on board, it only gets better. The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms are too which is always a win on a liveaboard, Max the barista serves genuinely great coffee, breakfast is well prepared, and the dive briefings are clear, professional, and packed with useful tips. The diving equipment is in good condition, the reefs in the south are in excellent shape, and the crew is incredibly helpful. They will do everything possible to get you into the water and safely back on board with a big smile. And yes, there is a lot of food. And yes, it is delicious. Very delicious. Did I mention there is a lot of it 😉 The only reason I recommend this south trip mainly for slightly experienced divers is the current. It can be strong at times. Less experienced divers might not enjoy that as much, but that really comes down to personal preference. If you like exciting dives and healthy reefs, this trip delivers.

Big appreciation to my dive guides Steve, Nui, and Alena for making every dive fun, safe, and memorable. I loved the whole experience and will definitely be back next year!

INCREDIBLE first liveaboard experience on the Deep Andaman Queen!
My husband and I had an AMAZING first liveaboard experience aboard the Deep Andaman Queen! While we are very experienced divers, we had never lived onboard a vessel to dive multiple days in a row like this, and it’s safe to say we loved it and it will not be our last liveaboard! The crew aboard the Deep Andaman Queen are exceptional - kind, friendly, extremely helpful, and most importantly very skilled and experienced as dive guides and instructors. They make you feel safe and comfortable without babying you, which we really appreciated. The boat itself is very comfortable (borderline luxurious for what it is), and I highly recommend splurging for the master cabin if you can - it’s huge and super comfortable! The food was plentiful and totally phenomenal, which was great because you find yourself wanting to eat a lot with all that diving. Finally, the diving itself was such a blast. Despite some less than ideal weather conditions, things under the surface remained stunning, and we enjoyed the beautiful seascapes and abundant marine life so much! We can’t wait to be back aboard the Deep Andaman Queen in the future!

Great boat and nice staff for spend a wonderful diving trip.
Unfortunately we don't spot Manta Ray or Whale Shark during this trip end of February but to diving in the Similan Islands was really great especially when we reach Richelieu Rock where the colors and quantity of fish were amazing! Definitely worth the trip to diving in this area.

The crew was super friendly and helpful for make the Liveaboard even more enjoyable. Our dive master where trying to choose dive location to avoid too much affluence from other boats to avoid meeting too much divers underwater. The food was very nice as a mix of Western and Thai food, very yummy after the 4 daily dives sessions.

Great liveaboard dive boat
This boat is advertised as a luxury boat and it definitely isn't. As a diver I found it perfectly adequate but my non-diving wife was disappointed at the boat facilities. The food was great and plentiful and the staff were amazing......friendly and helpful throughout the trip. The dive guides were very knowledgeable and friendly and went to great lengths to ensure every diver got a great experience. I dived with Nui and Ek who were both fantastic. The boat is run by Steve who runs a really tight ship.....top dive director! Whilst this isn't the most luxurious boat it provides great diving with top dive guides and the best sites.....DO NOT miss Richelieu Rock.....best dive site I have ever dived in 600+ dives.

Safe and Fun
The boat had great authentic dishes, all the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful would be an understatement. The dive guides were great, we were split into a small group of 4 divers to 1 guide and Steve went slow so you could really take in the views without a fear of getting left behind. Not to mention that the transfers to and from the boat was really great since we didn't know our way around Phucket and its one less thing to worry about. Also we never expected anything for Christmas, going on the liveaboard with something to do on Christmas was the gift, but the crew pulled out all the stops and got ALL of us warpped presents (34 presents) and a made a turkey dinner! I would definitely recommend this boat and this staff.

Well organized beautiful boat
We did the south tour to Koh Lipe and had a fantastic guide Alena, who was always super sweet and in a good mood and a fantastic spotter. Despite the poor visibility in the sea, we saw so many beautiful animals and corals and the boat overturned the whole original plan to go to dive sites with the best possible visibility, which was really great. The cabins and shower are clean and relatively spacious, the food is fantastic. The only unusual thing was that you had to change all the time, because you were not allowed to get up from the dive deck in a bikini or swimming trunks because of the seat cushions, not even with a poncho or dried, which means changing clothes 8 times a day. But that's not a bad thing, the schedule allows it to be quite relaxed.

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.

Immaculate and comfortable boat, world class diving and dive team and delicious food
The Deep Andaman Queen was immaculate with a very comfortable and spacious room and shower (we had the master ocean suite) The food was delicious and plentiful with multiple options every time (Thai and western food) and even the coffee was amazing with the on board barista The dive team were very informative always giving very detailed briefings of the sites. The groups were nice and small too (only 4 people per guide) The boat had a large dive deck and the staff were always on hand to help you onto the boat The dive sites were amazing and we were lucky enough the see an oceanic manta. Even without this there are world class dive sites The only downside was the wifi on the boat wasn’t working for the duration of the trip (and apparently the trip before)

Amazing staff and great experience on-board Deep Andaman Queen
Where do I begin to describe the amazing experience I had on board? I have to start with Max the barista/steward who made the meanest flat white I had in Thailand and I did not expect that, good coffee is essential and Max made my mornings better. Our dive guide Nin was both very competent and genuinely interested in the marine life, he looked very well after our group and each dive was very nicely guided without going too much of a crowd around us. The chef See and her assistant Nok gave us some excellent meals, the highlight having to be the barbecue but also the breakfast with bao buns! Everyone really was helpful and nice and you can tell they work hard to keep the ship and us divers safe and happy. Steve is of course running a tight ship but he also loves a story, a true professional of the trade. Thank you so much for the experience!

First time on a live aboard
My girlfriend and I tried out the Deep Andaman Queen as our first live aboard experience. We were very impressed with the care, coordination and amazing support that we received on board. As first timers, we didn’t know what to expect. We completed our AOW certification just before arriving so we had fresh experience which helped, though the dive team helped us check out all of our gear and weights on the checkout dive. Every dive site and experience just got better and better the further we went into the trip. The food was amazing, the staff and crew were wonderful and we had such a great time building a community with the other dive guests. The briefings before each dive were thorough and carefully planned out. I’d highly recommend taking advantage of the Nitrox certification as we found it made our energy levels much improved and able to keep up with the 4 dives per day.
