Great experience
First time liveaboard. Has to say it was even better than I expected. Everyone on the boat was very friendly, the staff were helpful and had prepared everything. They claimed that they had the best food among all the boats in Thailand, which can be true. Thanks to the cute chef we had tons of yummy food in between all the dives. Dive masters are very professional and made dives quite smooth. Basically they did all the things for us so all we had to do is enjoying the trip. I do recommend the boat even though the submarine world was not so colorful due to the warm water during the low season. I believe there would be a much more beautiful world waiting to be explored during the high season.

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.

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!
