The best diving trips with friends

All the dive spots were amazing, and the guide introduced many creatures, making it a great time. Also, safety management was thorough, so I could dive with peace of mind. Also, the Thai crew was very kind, and every meal was delicious. We all want to come here again next season.

Recommended for
Thorough safety management. Kind boat staff. Delicious meals.

Food schedule

Really amazing liveaboard experience with Similar! The accommodation is clean, tidy and comfortable with good ventilation and lighting. The food is fresh, varied and delicious with daily different menus. The crew and staff are super friendly, thoughtful and professional. All diving arrangements are well organized and they respond quickly to any requests. Everything exceeded my expectation. Highly recommended and will definitely come back again!

Best value for money trip with classic Richelieu Rock that never disappoints

My third time in the Similans and the boat crews are getting increasingly efficient and considerate. The dive groups are got off the boat, and back, with speed - exactly what you want from 4-dive days. There was never any waiting for equipment / dinghy pickups in this tightly-run ship. Along with the amazing chefs, the Thai crew really wants you to be comfortable and happy, and that service-quality is many leagues above the quality of the actual boat and the price you pay for it. Was lucky this time to get a pair of very chill, competent dive guides (Lolo and Noah) and a trip leader Bert who was on top of everything from the start without being obnoxious, a rare balance these days. My one complaint: we only got 3 dives at Richelieu Rock, compared to the 4 that these trips usually plan. I'd be quite happy to forego the more efficient travel times and get an extra dive at RR instead.

Recommended for
Thai boat crew. Chill, competent diving crew. Easy dives.
