The MV Deep Andaman Queen liveaboard underwent a complete rebuild in 2019 to offer luxury dive trips in Thailand. The 30m yacht caters for up to 25 divers in 11 cabins. There are 2 Master Cabins and 5 Deluxe cabins located on the main deck, and the twin, triple, or quad cabins are located on the lower deck, offering something to suit every budget. All cabins are equipped with individually controlled AC units, a private en-suite bathroom, charging ports, fresh towels, and ample storage space.

M/V Deep Andaman Queen Liveaboard takes great pride in the huge dive platform located at the back of the boat which boasts a wide and spacious kitting up area on two levels, a separate entry/exit platform, 2 exit ladders with 2 freshwater showers to rinse yourself or your equipment after diving and also 2 large buckets with fresh water for rinsing cameras and personal dive equipment.

Awesome!
Entirely positive experience! I really enjoyed the diving and the spots we explored and I found that the Similan islands are well worth the trip for Europe. The cruise leader, Steve, is very competent and I appreciated his professionalism, enthusiasm and friendly attitude. I was also particularly amazed by the boat crew and how much they cared for us. From preparing excellent coffee to rushing to help you when they see that you are putting your BCD on, they work very hard to ensure that you have a good time on their boat! My gratitude to Wat, Run, Max, Nu, Nonc, Bom, See and Nok for how much you contributed to make this liveaboard a blast!

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

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.

The captain's experience at putting the boat exactly where it needed to be was amazing the diving staff so I'm guessing he's good. Just remember day one on the boat may be a transit day but the last day is usually still eventful.

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.

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)

Diving holiday on the Deep Andaman Queen Thailand.
This is my second trip on the Deep Andaman Queen. The experience on both trips makes me want to come back for a third trip. The reef is in fantastic condition with hard and soft corals in abundance along with a prolific variety of fish and crustations. Dive Master Steve has many years of experience in the region and briefs the dive group on what to look for on each dive. A well run and organised liveabord experience.

The entire crew were friendly and willing to help when needed. Dive deck crew assisted while gearing up and down without being asked.. Food quantity and variety was excellent.

An amazing experience, from the moment we stepped on board we know that this was a highly professional outfit. The crew led by Steve was brilliant, the briefings and knowledge of the dive sights was of the highest standard. The organisation around the dives was excellent with no “rush” yet very efficient. The food was plentiful and good variation. Always ready when needed with snacks and soft drinks available. Steve leads the crew with a firm yet friendly manner ensuring standards are maintained. Highly recommended.

Awesome dive experience!
I really enjoyed this live aboard - I had heard some horror stories about liveaboards in Thailand, specifically regarding safety protocol, but this operation was nothing like that. The dive guides were very safety-conscious, and very knowledgeable about the sites and the wildlife. The food was really good as well. Also, I really liked the layout of the boat. It just made a lot of sense. The dive area wasn't overcrowded, there was plenty of space to dry out gear in between dives, and the rooms were externally accessible, which I like a lot. The crew were really fantastic - super friendly, they remembered everyone's names from the beginning (very impressive), and they all seemed to get along well with each other and the guests. Overall I loved this live aboard and would happily go again.
