Great trip, great crew, great experience!
the ability to dive, relax and also have a variety of other things to do (kayak, snorkel, an evening on an island) --- loved it all!

- 1) the pace --- "dive and chill" is a perfect combination for people who like to dive but are not married to it; 2) the crew: the divemasters (Erik & Joe) were terrific --- really helpful and friendly; and what a pleasure to be able to be on a trip with the boat's owner Neil: an absolute gentleman who has more experiences than you can count but humbly doesn't bring them up unless you engage him in the discussion; 3) the diving: the boat has great gear, and there was a really nice variety of sites selected for our dives.

The most relaxing and adventurous dive trip we’ve had.
Diving the Phi Phi islands was the highlight of the trip, but the crew is what made it so memorable. We even had a wonderful night ashore hiking to watch the sunset over Koh Phi Phi Don and then watched a beachside fire dancing show that was incredible.

A great way to experience the South Andaman Sea underwater world
Pickup and transfer after the trip went smoothly, the crew was helpful and professional, the food was delicious (there was even Prik Nam Pla on request) and the dive sites were stunning, especially the Koh Haa national park.

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.

Amazing experience in beautiful location!
We had an incredible trip! It was beautiful and excellent diving. I was impressed with the rental dive gear, and our divemaster Erik was fantastic! The only disappointing part was that the AC didn't work (for any of the rooms) so it was very hot and hard to sleep. We heard they were planning to replace the ACs the next week, so hopefully it's better for future passengers. The rest of the boat and its amenities were top notch. We would absolutely book again and overall really loved our experience.
