Great diving with great dive operator

Dom take care of us so much before and after the trip. Before the trip, we have many questions, he replied very quickly trying to solve all our problem. Dive guides so friendly. Trying their best to show us what we want to see. When we want to see big creature, they gave us oceanic manta; when we want something bigger, they show me whale shark(s). Great job and professional. Cabin is comfortable and big. Plenty of space for us to settle our big luaggages and camera gears. Highly recommend

Good first liveaboard

This was my first live aboard, so I didn’t quite know what to expect. 4 dives a day was a bit much, but the dive spots were nice, especially the dives in Richelieu Rock were amazing, and makes it worth doing a longer cruise. The crew and guides were very helpful, and made effort to accommodate different needs and levels of diving. The cabins were quite basic, but adequate compared to the price.

Amazing Whale Shark sighting!

I snorkeled while my husband and daughter dove. The guides not only looked after the divers but me as well. My husband got his Advanced deep water certificate and Vanessa took time to make sure he understood everything above and below water. The other guests were so much fun to meet from places like Switzerland, England, the US & Australia. They all raved about the dives at Richelieu Rock. “Soooo many fish!!” they said. But my best snorkel came at the end. Victor, my guide, and I were snorkeling one end of the Koh Bon while the divers were at the other end. There were so many fish. Then he spotted a green turtle just gliding along in and out of the darker water,so peaceful. Suddenly he grabbed my arm. I thought sure there was a big problem. I looked where he pointed and out of the darkness, gliding 8-10m below us was a WHALE SHARK!!!! Unbelievable if you have never seen one! So peaceful, beautiful and huge. Apparently, they are rarely seen there. We were so blessed!!! Before we could even get in the boat, Victor was shouting to the crew the Thai word for Whale Shark. He was so excited. We were the talk of the boat for the rest of the trip. Many thanks to this wonderful crew for the highlight of our 10 days in Thailand!!
