Friendly crew and great diving
Overall great trip for the price. Guides and boat crew were excellent and the food was great. Dive ratio was 4 divers for 1 guide. And they grouped the divers accordingly to skill level.

Amazing service, diving, and value for money on the Genesis I
Several beautiful current/drift dives. Dive sites filled with hundreds of thousands of fish. We saw our first whale shark - a rare sighting in that area! - and dozens of other unique sightings of net eels, ribbon eels, stingrays, beautiful coral, anemones, and more. Stefan was an incredible guide and made us feel very safe while doing an excellent job of spotting interesting findings. We agreed we would dive with Stefan anywhere in the world! The crew - especially Stefan - did great making us feel comfortable and at home in between dives. The food was excellent. The boat has tight quarters but all services and spaces were adequate for what we needed for a short trip.

- The diving and dive guides were amazing: 4:1 diver-to-guide ratio and the guides knew a lot both about the marine life and about diving. The food was excellent - some of our best food in Thailand. Great camaraderie across the whole group and comfortable despite the small quarters.

Quite a challenging but wonderful adventure.
The whole experience was a great adventure! I am a newer diver and our guide (Stefan) was very helpful and accommodating. A beautiful tour of the Similar Islands and a great way to get a huge variety of diving in.

Great for the money and short time
Richileu Rock, food and crew were fantastic. But skip the wreck dive on the 3rd day. Visibility and some weird very temporary slight stinging ocean critter there. Not a big fan of diving the currents either...awesome food and crew!

Great guides and aircon that really works
I have been on liveaboards before where aircons have been noisy or not really working. The standard on this boat was great and I slept really well as the aircon was silent and worked really well. The dive guides planned the dives really well and the briefings were detailed and thorough (some of the best I have had).

Expericing a new world.
If you want to have an intesive divings in a short period of time. It is the one you need. it is a budget program. So, cabins are not roomy or comfortable. But, sfaff is very friendly and professional. One more thing, you can take Nitrox course for pretty cheap price ďuring your trip.

Amazing food and really cool staff. The boat isn't great, cabins are very small and Aircon is blasting on beds which makes it very uncomfortable...plus shared bathroom.

Best Budget/Value for Money LOB
Visibility was not the ideal or the entire trip but the marine life I see at the dive sites is good enough to chase the blues away. Water was surprisingly cold, hitting 24 degrees celsius at times but it was still a fun experience.
- Recommended for
- Food was absolutely delicious and they provide soft drinks at no additional cost, Tanks were always charged up to about 220 (sometimes 230) bars (good for those who always hope for that additional air) and they provide nitrox at no additional cost. Boat crew and dive guides were all very friendly and welcoming

Fantastic, The guides and crew were amazing along with the food and facilities making for a great few days diving
Of course the diving but this was made even better by the detailed dive briefings before each dive and then discussions following each dive about our experience and what we had seen. We didn't just dive but learnt a lot about the sea life and also learnt about my weights and positioning of them to help my dive experience.
