Great liveaboard for seeing accessing some of the best diving in Thailand
The trip was well run and the schedule was well communicated. The diving was excellent and the small group sizes were great. The food was simple Thai food for the most part and was delicious, especially the sweet and sour.

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

Best parts were getting to experience life on a ship. This was my first time on a live aboard and the staff made it very accommodating...felt like a hotel!

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!!

Wow, we rate this to be one our top 5 experiences in life, it was beautiful, challenging, & relaxing.
Morning sunrise, and evening sunsets were breathtaking. Food was authentic and delicious. Crew was AWESOME, we learned so much and everyone went above and beyond to ensure every need was met. We stayed in the master cabin, definitely worth you extra money. You on the top living deck, with your own bathroom and shower; we enjoyed having the privacy.

Good food and big schools of fishes
Koh bon, koh tachai, Richelieu rock are so nice. Many big schools of fishes make it memorable. Briefing is effective with introduction of sites and marine lives. Food is really good. Thai crew are nice. Better to have good buoyancy control because some sites have rocks and narrow passages.
