Love!
It was awesome. I enjoyed myself so much. Thomas was a great dive master who was constantly giving me tips on how to improve my diving skills. Everyone was really helpful, always made sure to assist me with my equipment and made sure I got on/off the boat safely before and after my dives.

Excellent Andaman Sea trip!
Solo American on a six day Andaman trip in Dec 2025. 3 day dives and 1 night dive daily, +2 on last day. Wonderful German/Thai crew (Toun is a fantastic guide). Big clean boat. Healthy reefs, insane fish variety, lots of big/small creatures. Perfect weather. Lots of great food. Great overall value.
