Super nice liveaboard on the Phinisi
The highlight of the trip was of course the whale shark, which we saw, only one 5 divers and no one else around, wonderful experience.
Recommended for
Everything worked perfectly. Although the ship is newly used as a safari boat, the crew (Thai as well as the rest) seemed very organized and helpful. The rental equipment is completely new and of high quality. In terms of safety, it's also great. Before each dive, a good briefing with important information. The dive groups were divided according to experience level, and adjusted after the check dive and possibly later. Nitrox always 32%.

Livesboard that lives up to its dual mission of safety and the enjoyment of guests. Lovely diving that is not overly challenging. No big stuff but an abundance of marine life on healthy corals. Highly

Did not want it to end.
It was great a great dive trip. Got up close with cuttlefish. Saw an assortment of so many fish, sharks, scorpion fish, pipefish, angel fish, turtles barrakudas, one crab was so decorated he looked like he was going to mardi gra. The list went on and on. The water was murky, some of the days but visibility still not problem.

Hands down, incredible trip!
An absolutely phenomenal trip!! The best crew (dive masters and deck crew), the captain, and chefs/housekeeping! The boat was the most beautiful on the ocean and the crew (all sides) were phenomenal. The food and snacks were delicious and never ending - something all of us on board were so happy about! The dive crew and dive deckhands made it so we had to worry about absolutely nothing but the dives! I can honestly say, some of the best 5 days of my life were spent aboard the Phinisi!

Each and every one of the team contributed to the great success of this trip. Without exception, everyone was friendly, attentive and took care of the customers in the best possible way. The divemaster was outstandingly good and I felt very well informed on every dive, very safe and was able to enjoy the great dive sites. The beautiful ship also turned out to be very well equipped and my cabin was also very nice! I am totally thrilled with this great diving trip!

Diving around Surin island was amazing. The crew is really working for passengers to have the best possible trip. We made a visit to a Moken village one day we couldn’t do a dive due to weather conditions. I hope I can go back and do another live aboard in the same boat.

Unforgettable Dive Adventure - Easter 2024
My recent experience aboard this liveaboard surpassed all expectations and left me with memories to cherish for a lifetime. From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with warm hospitality and professionalism from the entire crew. The staff's extensive knowledge of the dive sites and dedication to safety reassured us throughout the trip, allowing us to focus entirely on the incredible diving experiences that awaited us. The liveaboard itself was a comfortable and well-equipped vessel, providing all the amenities one could need for a week-long dive excursion. Our cabins were meticulously maintained. The communal areas, including the lounge, dining area, and sundeck, were inviting spaces to relax and socialize with fellow divers between dives. But it was the diving that truly stole the show. Each day brought new and breathtaking underwater landscapes, from vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life to exhilarating drift dives along dramatic walls and pinnacles. The dive guides were knowledgeable and passionate about marine conservation, enriching our dives with fascinating insights into the underwater ecosystem. One highlight of our trip was the opportunity to embark on night dives, where we witnessed a whole new world come to life beneath the surface. The nocturnal marine creatures were nothing short of mesmerizing, providing an unforgettable experience that we'll cherish forever. Of course, no dive trip would be complete without delicious food to fuel our adventures, and the onboard chef certainly delivered. From hearty breakfasts to gourmet dinners, every meal was a culinary delight, with plenty of options to accommodate dietary preferences and restrictions. In conclusion, my experience aboard The Phinisi Liveaboard exceeded all expectations, thanks to the exceptional crew, comfortable accommodations, and unforgettable diving adventures. Whether you're a seasoned diver or new to the sport, I cannot recommend this liveaboard highly enough for your next underwater expedition. Special shout out to Victoria who was an amazing Dive Guide and quite literally runs a tight ship! - Pradeesh

Look no further! This was one of the best diving experiences i've had to date.
Apart from the lucky visit by a 5m Manta Ray. Everything about this trip was perfect. I had planned to lose a bit of weight, However the food laid on was too good not to have seconds :). Super friendly crew and a very chilled and relaxed atmosphere all over the very spacious boat. Can't wait to return again to the Phinisi.
