Budget boat but great value for money trip

Good dives @ Richelieu rock with so much fish life. The water visibility was great (30m) so this made for great diving.

Easy and nice diving

We were only 14 divers on a boat for 22 divers which was great! Less people in the water and since there’s is only three toilets on board it was perfect we were this few customers. Good dive guides, good food and staff.

Recommended for: Whale shark, good staff, easy diving

Excellent Trip

The cabins were very small and basic but my needs are few and the price low so I’d have to say they were adequate. With three shared bathrooms for a full boat there was often a wait but again I wasn’t paying for an en-suite so can’t really complain. The food was excellent and varied. The group I dived with was small and the guide, Tic, very good at directing our attention to creatures of interest without seeming to be too prescriptive. The diving was incredible with many whale sharks at different sites and even a chance to swim with an inquisitive one which visited the boat between dives. Another highlight was seeing mating Zebra sharks. Richelieu Rock in particular was stunning with so much marine life it was hard to know where to look.

Beautiful topside and below the surface!

Huge manta rays and the whale shark! Crew were awesome and friendly. Really well run operation and everything went according to plan and schedule. Food was very well done and the boat crew were a hard working bunch. Very safe and ideal for beginner divers as well as advanced divers.

Recommended for: Surin islands, Richelieu Rock and the whale shark!

Superb way to dive the Similans

The boat captain, dive masters and Thai crew were all fantastic. Everyone did their best to accommodate us. The diving is hard to beat. We were amazingly lucky to have a whale shark circling us for over 20 minutes, close enough to touch. Some of the dive sites are breathtaking. We even saw a rare harlequin shrimp. Tik, our Thai dive guide knows the ocean better than i know my hometown. We were truly privileged.
