A Fantastic First Liveaboard Journey to the Similan and Surin Islands
This was my very first liveaboard trip and also my first time exploring the Andaman Sea, including the breathtaking Similan and Surin Islands. The entire experience was truly fantastic, thanks to the amazing crew who made everything smooth and enjoyable. The crew were incredibly attentive and helpful, assisting with every dive—from setting up equipment to guiding the descent and ascent, and doing it all over again with patience and care. All equipment was organized neatly in properly allocated spaces, which made everything feel safe and well-managed, something I really appreciated. The food on board was delicious and perfect for refueling after each dive. It truly felt like the classic “dive, eat, sleep, repeat” lifestyle—simple, fulfilling, and unforgettable. I would definitely recommend this liveaboard to others, and I sincerely hope to return again for more diving adventures!

Great first dive experience in Thailand
Relaxing week to ring in the New Year. First time diving in Thailand. The guitar shark encounters topped the underwater experiences. Really great divers with similar values and interests.

A Great Diving Experience, Cool boat, Excellent Team
Highlights of the trip include the genuine happiness of the entire crew, along with the professionalism of the dive leaders. The Junk itself is tremendous. It was incredibly clean and well maintained and the cabins were comfortable and cool. Everything just seemed to work. The best diving was on Richelieu Rock where we saw schooling jacks, schooling barracuda, healthy soft corals, and a myriad of reef fish. Sea horses and nudibranchs were also seen on nearly every dive. The water was warm and the visibility was fantastic. The under water topography at Elephant Head site in the Similans included huge granite boulders which made for fun swim-throughs. We missed out on Mantas and Whale Sharks this trip but overall is highly recommended for experienced divers who want a stress free diving holiday.

Relaxing diving trip
I enjoyed almost every diving sites. It was an enjoyable and relaxing trip. The boat was a little bit old and needs some upgrades, but it was nice and big enough to give me a stable and romantic experience.
