Relax your diving trip in Similan
The friendliness of the crew. Really friendly. They always greet me with a smile on my face, which makes me feel good throughout the trip. The food that comes out after diving is also delicious with just the right amount of seasoning. And the important dive guide is FM, and safety is the most important thing in principle. In the case of cabins, there is a separate toilet and the size of the room is appropriate.

As much diving as you can handle in 4 days!
If you love diving, you’ll get more than enough on this trip. Four dives a day, day after day. Really great sites, plenty of live corals (still). The folks that work on this boat are all top notch.

A real cruise as we like them
For my first cruise, the 15 dives were all different and very beautiful. Steven my Instructor did my first baptism for night diving in complete safety and confidence, thank you Steven. The experience of sharing the same passion with people from different backgrounds. And above all a dedication, a servitude that the staff gives on board the boat and throughout the cruise. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.... ❤️❤️.

Absolutely amazing trip
All the staff from the Thai boat boys to the dive staff were friendly, helpful and clearly loved their jobs. The marine life was abundant and breathtaking, especially at the boonsung wreck. The food was plentiful and delicious and I never went hungry

A truly memorable experience.
The diving was amazing, especially since I went before high season and so we had most of the sites completely to ourselves. I traveled alone and therefore was thrilled to have ended up with such a great set of people onboard. If we weren’t diving, we were laughing! And last but not least: the crew. I can not put into words how professional and friendly they were.

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

Perfect Trip dive with MQ1
Richelieu Rock is one of the best dive sites I have ever had, so many fishes swimming around me. Wreck dive on the last day was also a awsome one, a lot of special fishes in there. Crews on MQ1 were very friendly and helpful, my dive master Peter is a very gentle and kindly and handsome man.
