AMAZING.
The crew knew when the best time to dive at particular locations. All staff members were accommodating to individual needs. Marine life and it’s diversity was incredible. So many fish and corals. Always fed quality food after a dive, so never went hungry. Would 100% recommend.

Excellent diving, Great food, but room for improvement
The diving was excellent, the organization and communication made everything flow well and start on time. They had a nice air conditioned area for lounging and watching movies. The crew and staff were very helpfull, and the dive masters did a good job with the diving as well as teaching the Nitrox course and Advanced Diver course.

First trip so not sure what to expect.
Seeing everything on my species list even a manta ray was the highlight. The staff and guests were a good mix who mixed well and the boat boys helped as much as they could to improve the experience. The equipment was always ready and in good working order. The food was to my taste and there was a good supply of cold and hot drinks. For a first trip i couldn't of asked for more..

Amazing experience!
It was the first time we went on a live aboard and it was great! The organisation is spot-on, everything runs smoothly and on time. It is really intense and good to loose a little weight even with all that you eat! The diving sites are amazing, specially Richelieu Rock. We even saw a turtle! The crew is very friendly and helpful. Food is good with good variety for every taste. The cabins are of reasonable size and we were so tired after divings that we slept very well. It was great to meet the other divers. We had really fun. Altogether is a must have experience and good value for the price! Highly recommended! We hope to be on another one in the future!

Great trip, great diving, great guides
The staff worked hard to help you, both the local boat staff and foreign guides. Food was good with enough variety and quantity. We had Sergio as our dive guide/instructor, he was great. Before some if the dives he would tell us what to expect to see and show us pictures and then he was excellent and finding things under the water. Only tea, coffee, and water are included in the price, bring your own alcohol/soft drinks if you don't want to pay boat prices. The beds were not comfortable, they were hard, the mattress was thin, but this is not a cruise its a liveaboard. We were on Manta Dive 3, I think there was 33 divers, on a couple of sites it was a little crowded but on the whole the dive guides tried to give us some space. We really enjoyed our 4 nights 4 days itinerary, we would recommend.

Great diving, great boat, great crew!
Great dive sites, especially Koh Bon and Richelieu rock. Comfortable spaces to hang out and socialise between dives. The option to sleep under the stars on the top deck. Plenty of good food (though could be a little more varied). Safe, quick and efficient handling of dive entries and exits for 30+ divers. Dive, eat, sleep, repeat. I enjoyed every step!

The Similan Islands are so far the best scuba diving spot I've ever been to, and this trip showed me that.

One of the most beautiful trips in the world
We saw some of the most beautiful stuff underwater... between the coral and the fish and other marine life...it was so beautiful. Every dive was different...it's not like seeing the same stuff on every dive. Each dive site has its individual highlights. The crew and dive guides were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Everyone was very hospitable. It was a great trip. The night dive was one of my favorite ones.
