Best dives I’ve ever had

I had the best time on mandarin queen 9. The all experience from start to finish was amazing. The boat crew was so nice always strive to give us the best experience, as a vegetarian they always make sure I have something to eat and made special meals for me. The dive masters were the best I dived with and I was pleasure to dive with and the free nitrox was the cherry on the top. If you want to do liveaboard in Thailand don’t think twice and go dive with mandarin queen 9

An unforgettable liveaboard experience – absolutely outstanding!

I had an incredible time on this liveaboard. Everything was perfectly organized, the Queen Mandarin 9 was in excellent condition, and both the diving and the life on board exceeded all expectations. The equipment provided was high-quality, well-maintained, and the lovely crew took care of absolutely everything: helping with entering and exiting the water, setting up and removing equipment, carrying and cleaning gear, and always being there with a smile. The cabins were clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned, making the stay even more relaxing. We were spoiled with delicious food around the clock – several warm buffet-style meals a day, plenty of snacks like chips and instant dishes, and even an ice cream machine. A special shout-out goes to the kitchen and cleaning staff, who worked tirelessly in the background to make this smooth and enjoyable experience possible. Between dives, there was never a dull moment: a big TV with a wide media library, two massage chairs, a PS5, a Nintendo Switch, and lots of cozy spaces to relax or find privacy. Truly the perfect setup for comfort and entertainment. The dive sites were spectacular, with highlights like Koh Bon and Richelieu Rock, offering an incredible variety of marine life – from schooling fish and vibrant reefs to breathtaking macro sightings. Another major highlight: during the dives, the dive masters captured professional photos and videos, giving everyone unforgettable memories to take home. The group itself was a wonderful mix of ages and nationalities, creating a warm, friendly, and fun atmosphere where everyone connected and shared experiences. In short: a beautifully organized, welcoming, and absolutely unforgettable liveaboard adventure. I can recommend it 100%, and I would return in a heartbeat.

A wonderful experience made even better by an exceptional crew

The trip with the Mandarin Queen to the North Andaman Sea was spectacular. The boat itself is very new, well made, and full of amenities that make the experience on board super smooth and very enjoyable. The cabins were large with private bathrooms and aircon at all times. The crew made sure that we were cared for and entertained at all times, from washing our dive towels, cooking great meals and snacks and beating us at Mario Kart. Due to choppy seas we could not spend the planned 4 dives of the 3rd day at Richelieu Rock, but the Manager PicNic made sure that we got some great other dive spots and so we still got some amazing dives done. The crew also took photos of all divers underwater with professional photo gear so that everyone gets some pictures to take home. All in all, it was a truly great experience and we would recommend it 10/10!
