Best Dive Trip!
I absolutely LOVED my time aboard the Junk! Great value for the money with incredible food, crew members, and facilities. Each room has an en suite bathroom with comfortable beds. There is a sun deck with very comfy seating and lots of spaces to relax. The food was the best I had throughout all of Thailand and made the diving even that much better! 100% would recommend.

Wonderful liveaboard
Wonderful liveaboard with incredible dives (Richelieu Rock is absolutely crazy), a very nice, fun and welcoming crew. The food is awesome, the cabins are small but confortable enough, the boat is beautiful. I just wish I could have stayed longer :)

Diving cruise at the top
1st cruise experience very positive. Safety remains the priority at all times.Professional crew: exhaustive briefings before each dive, a lot of help (equipment management, putting on/taking off wetsuits, ...) allow the 4 dives / day to pass. Very nice dive guide.Good atmosphere, majority of participants speaking English: correct level of English recommended (diving briefings, life on board).Easy dives (50mn / 20m in general), warm water (28/29 °), clear (never below 20m), little current, ok level 1/ open water

Excellent experience in every way!
We loved our time on the Junk; the dive operations were excellent (organization/logistics, safety etc), the planning was great, the food was awesome, yes, all good. The boat didn't have a ton of different areas to hang out, so it's definitely extravert territory, but all in all it was a very positive experience.

- Excellent dive operations. Great food. Unique vessel.
