Relaxation
Crew does their best to make the days really nice. The boat itself has charm and it's all very relaxed. But you can tell the boat's interior is old - everything is very dark also because of the wood and the cabins are simple. You have to be prepared for that, then you can enjoy a relaxed diving holiday.

an unforgettable experience I will definitely repeat in the future
The incredibly friendly, funny and routined crew on board made our life on the Junk as easy and comfortable as possible and supported us any time with everything they could do to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Rental equipment on board was good, crew members can handle any required maintenance or adaptation, if required, very well. Diving sites, dive group sizes and dive guides were very experienced and made every dive into another interesting discovery tour. Living on The Junk for this one week was an unforgettable experience. The sleeping cabin was very nice, clean and comfy. Best of all: the incredibly delicious food on board that was freshly cooked and differed every day. Also for vegan and vegetarian guests the selection of meals was excellent.

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!

Came for the dive, stayed for the food.
The friendliness and service level of the crew exceeded expectations! I'm sure every review before has talked about the food, so I'm just gonna skip that. Great value for money.
