Great experience!
Great trip, diving was fun, food was delicious and an experience coming from the west. Crew was super nice and always trying to help. My trip was with all Thai people so I was the only one who needed a translation. Crew did the best they could but it helped that some other passengers spoke excellent English.

Good and recommended
This is my third liveaboard experience, and I had an amazing time with everyone on the trip, from the fellow divers to the crew. The dive sites were fantastic, with Richelieu Rock standing out as a highlight. We dove there twice, though it would have been great to have had even more dives at such a renowned spot. The only downside was the use of inflatable boats to reach the dive sites, which made the dives feel a bit more exhausting. Overall, the trip was full of fun, and I highly recommend it!

Trip of a Lifetime
Diving the southern andaman is seen as “worse” than the north however being a Floridian and avid Florida diver seeing all sorts of species I can only see at my local fish store definitely made for a trip I won’t soon forget. The dive guides were amazing and the whole crew on board was top notch I didn’t ever have to put my own fins on i have someone doing it for me! The food on board was amazing as well for someone not used to eating traditional thai cuisine some options were definitely out of my comfort zone however there was always something I would eat at every meal. Having hot pot on the last night at sea was an experience that made the whole trip extra special for me! 10/10 recommend the Krishna and the Peter Pan scuba club the value for the whole experience was definitely worth it! If you’re looking for a liveaboard to spice up your Thailand adventure then look no further!

The perfect first liveaboard was thanks to the dive buddies and crew.
We met the friendly dive crew and it was a comfortable, safe and fun dive.It was a pity that I couldn't go to the famous Richeliu Rock because of the high waves.It was nice to be able to see the same place in more depth.Thank you for providing delicious food and a variety of snacks every time.

Best experience on Adaman, we'll be back!
Great experience, mainly thanks to Manny, the best guide in Andaman and the crew. We have already done several LBs on Andaman and without hesitation Manny knows each site like the back of his hand. The quality of the briefings, complete but not long. The punctuality in terms of logistics, the adaptation of the diving profiles according to the group's consumption, everything was great! Big plus, the crew is ultra on the lookout to bring the little extras that make you happy, glass of water once equipped before diving, glass of hot tea at the end of the dive (but still on the deck! Which is a great pleasure!).Finally, the boat, although having lived through these years, is in perfect condition, and above all safety is highlighted, with life jackets in each cabin and automatic fire extinguishers in the galley. 2 lifeboats are present in the Sun Deck, and both had a correct service date.

Amazing dives around Similan in the Krishna Liveaboard
We had an amazing trip with the Krishna (2) going to Similan, Koh Bon and Richelieu. The underwater world is incredibly beautiful, we had only wonderful dives. The boat (Krishna 2) is modern, clean and has everything you need. The twin rooms (bunk bed) are spacious enough and the bathroom and showers are great. The food was a bit meat-heavy, it was almost impossible for my vegetarian sister to eat properly, even though she asked for vegetarian options ahead of time. Even for me as a non vegetarian it was way too much meat. I would have appreciated more fruits & vegetables. The dive instructors all were Thai and did a great job, but they also were not extremely social, we were basically diving a bit for ourselves. Which was nice, but a bit more interaction between the divers and the dive instructors would have been nice (e.g. discussing what we saw etc.). All in all, however, we had a wonderful few days and really enjoyed our dives, would do it again someday!

Team, boat, food all great, dive areas are unfortunately pretty broken. We've been there before the zunami
The team on board is well coordinated and works great.Even the gluten-free meal for my wife was partially possible.If not, the cook did something else, gluten-free sauces, soy, sweet chilli, tamarind we had extra with us. And we also had a translation regarding gluten-free food in Tai / English from the internet.
