Fantastic diving experience in Thailand

We had 3 wonderful days on the boat (Trip A) to the Similan Islands. This was our first time on Liveaboard and the first time we had 4 dives in one day. The crew and instructors were absolutely fantastic, skilled and professional - and contributed to a memorable diving experience. The food was very good and varied, and adapted well to allergies. The boat has a very good standard and is in very good order. The dive sites were great, with clear water and plenty of fish. Many thanks for the trip, and an extra thank you to a fantastic crew:

Similans 4days/3nights 10 dives tour on MV Bavaria

Hearty welcome on our arrival. Boat was only booked by 9 people (capacity 22 guests), so there was plenty of space for everybody. There were 4 guides with us, so we had very small dive groups, that were rearranged a bit after first dive to give everyone a good experience. Food was very tasty and also a vegetarian option was offered. Cabin was small, but no need for more on a safari. I had a great time and will return when I book another safari in future.

Small Diving Groups with great guides who spot the smallest snails and worms. Great food from lovely crew. Clean and comfortable cabin.
