Moray Eel vs.Triggerfish
I booked a tour with Gentle Giant and MV Raga to the Similan Islands. Both tours were fantastic. Great staff and lots of sea life to see. The dive sites are varied and, for me, among the most beautiful ever. Special thanks to the guides, Sasha, Spice, and Freshy. Thanks to them, I got to see lots of cool things that I would otherwise have missed. The whole staff does a great job, and on every tour, the friendly owner stops by to ask if everyone is satisfied.

Excellent experience
I highly recommend this experience, even for someone traveling alone. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The dives are breathtaking. I was even able to switch to Advanced Open Water on the 2nd day, which was not planned. Safety is a must. Well done!

Tremendous experience, to highlight the group and the excellent work of the crew
The new friends after days of living together and the net dives and purple rocks and "the hand of John", although they were all very good and left us unforgettable memories, such as the explosion of life in the wreck of the King Cruisier

Much more values than I Expected
It was very relaxing to see scenery from the top of the deck. Delicious food was served 4 to 5 times a day, and freshly cooked with a sense of Thai.Crews were very helpful when putting on and taking off the equipment.Guests and crew landed on the Phi Phi Island and watched a fire show after diving at night, which was unexpected. Two whales showed up to the boat.

- A large school of fish, zebra shark at Hin Bida, several kinds of exotic fish unseen before.

I was looking for an adventure, but instead I found a family that loves diving as much as I do.
Everyone on the crew was great and made this experience very special. Great group of divers to share this trip with. I felt like I have known them for a long time. Astounding rock formations at Elephant Head. The huge amount of marine life at Richelieu, that is impossible to describe. Must see for yourself. The beauty of Similan. Special thank you to Fei. You will always have my respect and admiration.

A fantastic dive tour of the Andaman Sea islands and dive sites.
I selected Gentle Giant because of its itinerary. Most boats either dive the northern or the southern Andaman Sea. In the same trip, Gentle Giant visits all the most important and beautiful dive sites on the Indian Ocean coast of Thailand, both in the north and south. From the Richelieu Rocks teeming with life, through the fifty-plus meter visibility of the Similian Islands, to the sharks of Koh Phi Phi, our guides, fluent in both English and Mandarin, put us on all the best spots! The diving was amazing! The staff and crew were super friendly and helpful, and the food was fresh, savory, and abundant, with Thai, Chinese and Western selections. I look forward to diving again with Gentle Giant in the future.

Best of Thailand
A very nice trip offering the best of Thailand. The boat crew, Gai, Anne and Lee supported by the 2 lovely always smiling ladies who cooked and served us. And of course the boat staff who helped us gear up. Did the South Thailand dive sites which was a first for me.
