Incredible experience as my first liveaboard
It was my first liveaboard experience, and I was a little nervous at first. However, I quickly realized there was nothing to worry about. The crew was incredibly kind and helpful, and they provided everything you might need, including diving gear, meals, snacks, and even medication. I experienced seasickness for the first time, but it improved quickly after taking the medicine they offered. They even hosted a sunset party on the boat on the last day, which made the trip even more special. If you are planning to visit the Similan

Highly recommended
During the days I was there I had a very good experience. The staff was aware that we did not miss anything at any time, they were very friendly and the cooks were great. If you have little time to do a life on board it is phenomenal although it is a bit intense as there are 4 dives, two of the days and two the last one before returning to land.The very friendly instructors always dedicated enough time for the briefings before each dive so that we had the necessary precautions in each of them and they made an effort to make us comfortable and enjoy each dive.In short, highly recommended!
