Well run Similan Islands Liveaboard, thoroughly recommend.
As experienced Liveaboard divers we were impressed with the organisation and setup. The boat is in excellent condition but with a full complement of divers it is a bit of a squeeze for space, however not uncomfortably so. Boat and dive safety are a clear priority and even travelling with the sister boat Sawasdee Fasai gives a level of confidence that has not always apparent on other trips that we have done. Boat director Mickey was great at the dive briefings and helping keep the busy dive schedule on track. With four dives a day it is full-on and very little down time, however there was still an opportunity to get onshore with an island visit on one afternoon. The deck crew were amazing at helping everyone get kitted up, not to mention assisting with returning aboard. The food produced by the kitchen staff was delicious and plentiful. The diving really didn’t disappoint. Plenty of sealife and particularly large shoals of assorted species at Richelieu, although a tad surprising not to see any sharks the sheer numbers of fish was mind blowing. I would say that the diving is appropriate for advanced level or higher and a Nitrox qualification is almost essential due to the depth and dive frequency.

Just awesome
Everything was great. The staff was so good, they always gave good briefing, about everything, so you always know what to expect, and what to do. They served food and snacks between each dive, and it was so delicious. So you never walked around hungry. The boat boys took good care of the equipment, and make sure your gear always was ready for each dive. Everything was just great, and I’m definitely gonna come back for round 2. 😉
