Highly recommended, especially the Southern trip!
A wonderful experience! The boat feels spacious and the crew takes really good care of you. It was the first time for me to do the Southern dive sites (most boats go to Similan and Surin islands). Visbility is a little bit less but wth A LOT of sea horses definitely worth visiting. I want to go again :)

Best liveaboard experience!
We did 10 dives in 3 days to the surrounding islands of Phuket, and it was excellent! We saw 3 shipwrecks, lots of coral, sharks, eels, rays, other animals and millions of fish.. very satisfying! The accommodations were nice and the food was beyond excellent. All the guides were very nice and the boat boys were amazing in helping us get ready, and on/off the boat for every dive. An incredible deal for the price!

Simple but beautiful boat
We spent a really nice time on the Gentle Giant. The boat is simple but equipped with everything you need. Each cabin has hot water showers, air conditioning and windows. The crew is very nice and there are 4 at least 4 meals a day. Snacks are available around the clock. We enjoyed the time very much and can recommend the liveaboard to everyone.

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

- The crew, the cordiality and predisposition of the management and the instructors permanently concerned about the well-being of all

Fabulous people, incredible diving and just a wonderful week!
My partner and I had an incredible week onboard the Gentle Giant. Firstly, everything was very well organised so we were kept well informed of the daily plans. All the crew were excellent - the guides, the chef, stewardess, the boat guys and captain. Everyone was helpful, friendly and really made our stay fun, enjoyable and just really easy. The itinerary was well balanced and we felt that we really made the most of our time on the trip. Our guide, Gai, was very knowledgable and knew the sites well, he made sure we were kept away from larger groups underwater and pointed things out that we wanted to see. Overall, an excellent time - would recommend!

- It's too hard to think of just three! I would say; the itinerary, the people and the ease of the whole week.
