Relax Liveaboard
The safari is a nice tour to take great photos and relax. The dives were very relaxed but still beautiful underwater pictures. Also very nice are the tourist hotspots, where they only docked when the masses of tourists had left.

Went beyond my expectations
The name has it all, dive n chill. It was the perfect balance of diving, relaxation and exploration. The captain and whole crew were so friendly, they went beyond in ensuring my comfort and the food that was cooked up was so good!! Traditional Thai food and a splash of western (think chicken nuggets and fluffy pancakes) Highly recommend.

Great Experience!
The combination of perfect dives, flexible crew and beautiful moorage was divine. It was an excellent trip and such good company. Eric was really helpful and relaxed about my nervousness after a long time out of the depths, and I learned so much.

A great experience
The Merdeka 3 is a bit more rustic than other dive ships, but has more charm. Everything is a little more leisurely, with several shore leaves. So you don't rush from dive site to dive spot. The trip with the Merdeka 3 clearly exceeded my expectations.

Amazing and Relaxing
It was just my fiance and myself as guests on the boat. Upon boarding the boat we were welcomed to a large common area with lots of room to relax in between and after diving and island/beach activities. The cabins were spacious with beds large enough to comfortably sleep two adults. The bathrooms were clean and the showers had plenty of cold and hot water. All the meals were prepared fresh and in abundance! There was so much food every meal, and all of it was delicious! Captain Addy was extremely familiar with the islands and was able to take us to many dive sites where we were the first divers there, allowing us to see undisturbed locations. Most days we would do two dives and relax the rest of the afternoon and evening. There was no "dive, dive, dive" mentality. Our dive master John was extremely knowledgeable of each dive site and even gave me tips to increase by bottom time considerably. The crew was very helpful in assisting us in and out of the water as well. The on-board massage found tension in me that I didn't even know I had! Our trips to some of the islands were incredible and had something for everyone. Between the beautiful scenery, delicious food, spacious accommodations, and highly-trained staff, I can honestly say this was the most incredible and relaxing liveaboard that we had been on.
