THE FOOD WAS THE BEST!

Every meal was different/unique! I hear other liveaboards usually serve a lot of soups/curry's since they're easy to prep but I got seconds every meal due to how amazing the chefs were. I loved how much we dove! This is the perfect liveaboard for those who want to DIVE! If you want a relaxing liveaboard, pick something else! Loved it! Can't wait to dive again with this team!

Awesome experience!

Really great experience with Lucky Marine. The Similans were beautiful. Even with some cold currents and middling visibility this time of year, the dive guides brought us to beautiful spots full of marine life. We saw so much cool stuff. I felt secure and comfortable the whole time. The whole crew was on top of their game in maintaining equipment and making us comfortable. Cabins were surprisingly comfortable. The FOOD was unbelievable. They said they dedicate more attention to food than others might, and it shows. Everything was delicious and plentiful. I felt bad that I was constantly eating the whole time because everything was so delicious! This was my first experience on a liveaboard, and Lucky Marine set the bar high. I would love to come back!

Fun little one night liveaboard

Good time on the super quick one night liveaboard from Chalong pier. The boat was still relatively new, and very big. Easy trip from Chalong pier, perfect for anyone short on time and want to maximize their dives. Crew was great, boat was big enough for everyone to spread out. The top deck was huge! Great place to relax at night and sun in the day. Best part was the divemaster, Vincent. Seasoned diver and knew the area well so was able to show us some great stuff below. Thanks Lucky for the fun trip!

Fantastic experience

The dving was wonderful, especially at Richelieu Rock. The crew was excellent, and the food plentiful and delicious. The boat had lots of areas to sit and relax between dives and was well equipped. The only negative is that some of the dive gear really should be replaced or serviced. Two people had a hard time finding fins that were big enough, and many of the wetsuits had holes or broken zippers. My BCD/regulator combo also leaked more than it should on the air hose connector. Overall, a wonderful worthwhile experience.

Muy recomendable

Los instructores fueron super atentos, durante los buceos siempre iban dos instructores con un grupo de 5 buceadores, lo que hacía el buceo más seguro. Mucha calidad. La comida muy buena y de mucha cantidad, había comida a todas horas Muy buena compañía
