Great time on the Junk Liveaboard
Great Liveaboard on the Junk. The boat is amazing and the staff also. The diving was well planned. The best thing i think was the food. Congrats to the Cook Lady because her food was Michelin Star quality. I had a great time.

Fantastic experience that lived up to all expectations both above and under water.
Highlights have to be the three dives on the Western Ridge where we saw oceanic mantas on all three occasions and the three dives on Richelieu Rock where the diversity and condition of marine and coral life is simply mind boggling. They are unforgettable life changing experiences that we’re privileged to have.

- The Junk is just the most perfect boat to sail around the Andaman Sea hoping from island to island in the Similan/Surin chain whilst enjoying the most amazing diving experiences. The crew, dive staff & food are fantastic, always smiling, helpful and knowledgeable. The diving experiences are diverse and exceptional.

Phenomenal dives and tasty food - not a bad way to spend 7 days!
Brian is a great crew lead, our entire boat had really talented dive guides (Ayako, Steph, Jai, Brian), the chef/housekeeping team was an all-star duo, and the rest of the boat crew was very helpful. Overall, highly recommend this 7 day trip!

Excellent Liveaboard with Great Diving
Had a great time this past week aboard the Junk, they have a fantastic crew that makes your life easy! You really don’t have to worry about anything besides staying hydrated and enjoying your dives. Crew helps you from the moment you step on the dock, taking all luggage, helping you on and off the boat, refilling tanks between dives, helping you out of wetsuits, getting you in and out of the dingys, they truly make everything easy for you which helps enjoy the diving and the trip even more. The dives themselves are at beautiful sites, with great coral and interesting things to see. We didn’t get the luckiest on seeing “big stuff” on my trip, but macro lovers were thrilled on every dive. None of the dives were difficult, any diver could enjoy them. Highly recommend anyone visiting Phuket dives with the Junk!

A great way to experience one of the top dive spots
- spending a whole day on Richelieu Rock - My dive buddy group was very well organized by the dive staff - safety was a great concern and well executed by the Dive Team - thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I would go again!

- 1) Dive Instructors and the way they broke up our groups. 2) Food and drinks on board - the chef is spectacular! 3) The schedule - enough time in between dives
