Thoroughly recommended!
We had a wonderful trip. The diving was excellent, the crew catered for our every need and never stopped working. They were amazing. We had a wonderful dive guide who we really enjoyed diving with. Aiden was very knowledgable and great to dive with. The bot is very clean and tidy, well maintained. The captain of the boat certainly knows how to handle it, we has amazing, often picking us up rather than the rib, even picking us up in the busy area above Richelieu Rock, which takes some expert handling I can tell you! They have the right safety equipment too and the experience to use it, which is an important factor. The whole experience with the Sea Dragon Dive Centre and the Andaman was easy and an absolute pleasure.

Just great!
Just a great liveaboard with a great crew and great atmosphere! We had one of the two ensuite cabins and were completely satisfied. It was three trips as a total booking with changing guides and passengers, but it did not detract from the mood and the feel-good character. We would especially like to mention our guides Enya and Champ - just great! Absolute recommendation, we will be back!

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.

Was will man mehr?
The trip was the first liveaboard ever for us and in summary just a wonderful experience. The 4 days flew by. They were well supplied around the clock and the prices on board for alcohol were absolutely reasonable. On the last evening there was a great BBQ buffet with cocktails. The dives were well organized and were excellently accompanied by the guides. We were completely satisfied and will definitely choose this type of trip again.

An unforgettable diving trip with many great dives
Thank you very much for this unforgettable diving tour with the M/S Andaman and SeaDragon Dive (Khao Lak). From check-in to check-out, everything was super professionally organized, so you can see that the tour participants can rely on the 20 years of experience at SeaDragon. The transport to the boat was comfortable, short and relaxed. The stay on the M/S Andaman was from the first moment vacation as I had imagined it. The cabins/bunks were clean and comfortable and there was enough space to store your things properly. A huge thank you also goes to the entire 6-person boat crew who kept everything clean at all times (especially the washing and shower areas). Likewise, they have always made sure that no wish remains unfulfilled, fruit, drinks, refrigerators, etc. were permanently replenished so that they could access them at any time. Every single dive was highly professional and with a lot of fun are briefed and carried out with a lot of humor. Here, too, the Boots crew came into action and helped out a lot on the dive deck. A special thank you also goes to Lucinda who, as tour supervisor, was able to answer all questions extremely professionally, had the entire tour process and also one or the other challenge under control at all times and was a great guide and buddy for me for many great dives. I would also like to thank Karlos and Jess as a dive guide and buddy for the dives they completed with them, it was incredibly fun. The passengers on board came from a wide variety of regions of the world such as Canada, Mauritius, Germany, UK, NL, Australia, Croatia, Sweden, India, the USA and Mexico. This variety of different people has also enriched the trip very much. All in all, I am super happy to have chosen exactly this tour and will definitely dive with SeaDragon in Khao Lak again. The tour is highly recommended and memorable. Thank you and see you next time. 🤿

An all-round great exchange experience
It was 7 great days for me. The 22 dives were so well timed that I didn't feel completely exhausted even after 4 dives in one day. There was a lot to see under water, both very small shrimps or snails but also turtles, moray eels, large schools of fish and corals in all colors. The cook brought excellent dishes to the table, people with food intolerances were also taken care of, and of course there were also vegetarian and vegan dishes.Lydia as a supervisor was always friendly and contributed a lot to the good atmosphere on board. My two dive guides Charm and Nin ensured calm, relaxed dives and showed you again and again what there was to see. It was my first liveaboard and completely convinced me.

Lots of food - local and western. Very generous portions and have left over for each meal. Excellent dive briefing - showing pictures of marine life excepted. Detail written log provided after each dive. Created platform to share pictures. Saw whaleshark at Richelieu Rock. Many marine life such as octopus, shrimps, crabs, lobsters, sponge snail, nudibranch, barracuda, jack fish, bat fish, etc. Marvelous discount for repeating customers.
