Best boat food to date!
Absolutely phenomenal trip. I recommend people go even if it's not peak season because the diving is still great. The guides were amazing and the chef was absolutely unparalleled. The only thing I would recommend is maybe a little bit of a softer mattress because those are pretty hard. Hoping it'd be a return customer that's for sure!

First liveaboard and ready for more!
I was apprehensive at first about going on a liveaboard on my own but I am thankful that the trip was really enjoyable - be it the good company, good food, or great dive sites. It was fun interacting with fellow divers, hearing about their diving experiences and travel adventures, and sharing a few drinks with them. The dive guides took care of us (and the marine environment) and carried out detailed dive briefings so that we could enjoy the dives. Expectations for Richelieu Rock were high and I'm glad it didn't disappoint. It was really awe-inspiring to see large shoals of barracudas and schools of tunas, and not forgetting the cute anemone fishes and beautiful corals. Another highlight of the trip was probably the night dive. The briefing was hilarious but conveyed the safety messages across effectively. Thank you SeaDragon for such a memorable trip!

the best break
this trip has truly been an amazing experience. the schedule was relaxed and comfortable while allowing us to still be able to see so much. the dive guides were so much fun, especially my instructor pang that made me laugh so hard even while I was underwater. it was so lovely to put any stress aside and just wake up, dive, eat, nap and repeat for the whole day. would definitely recommend this trip to anyone seeking time away from a hectic lifestyle.

This is an excellent company - dive guides really take safety and the environment seriously compared to some of the other groups we saw. The food is awesome. Very nice social area with shade so not cooped up in cabin all day. Would definitely do again. Ideal live aboard experience for beginners as well.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience doing our first Liveaboard with a great crew/ company!
Highly recommend doing a liveaboard with Sea Dragon! Very professional instructors/ guides, gave thorough briefings. Clean boat, good food. Fun experience, worth it! Only recommendation is to update the website requirements divers need prior to booking, such as needing to have 30m deep dive certification (you can receive it through them on the trip but budget for an additional cost).

All the best parts of summer camp, and great diving!
This boat brought back all the fun parts of going away to summer camp. Sleeping in bunks, making friends with other divers, and having fun together while diving 2-4 times a day. This is not a luxury yacht experience with a hot tub, or jet skis, but the vibes onboard are immaculate👌 and I would choose this boat over a luxury yacht anytime. Good hearty food is prepared to fuel you, at homey family style meals, and hardworking crew and guides make sure you are prepared and safe for every dive. I cannot stress enough how fantastic the crew are. Even though it wasn't a luxury boat, the crew's service was absolutely first class. Diving is excellent. Lots to see and the guides find cool stuff to show you. I would highly recommend and will be going again.

Great trip with a professional operation
Boat that's been operating for years, and it shows. Great professional operation that knows what it's doing, which shows in many things: the food is great and what you need to keep going, the gear is well maintained, the boat and crew operate as a well oiled machine to get you to dive sites when you need to be there, the bathrooms are spacious and enough for those on board (with warm showers), the boat has enough sunny and shady spots for everyone to relax so as not to be on each other's lip all the time. Generally great dive briefings (though that depends on who is briefing). Points off for comfort as the bunks' mattresses are not exactly cushy - repeat customers know to bring an inflatable mattress to put on top. All in all a great experience, amazing value for money. I would book again without hesitation.
