Four days of excellent, friendly diving.
Extremely high value voyage! This was my second liveaboard and everything substantially exceed my expectations. All of Chef Ann's food was delicious but anything pork was a step above! Trip director Ric had everything organized very well, was super easy going and friendly, and managed to have us on time or early for almost every dive and transit. Diving in Paan's group of other AOW divers was a blast. Briefings were clear and detailed, and his navigation of the sites was flexible and professional to help maximize bottom time and chances of seeing things unique to each site. Also, shout out to the gas tech for mixing nitrox to within better than 0.5% of 32% O2 every time - very impressive!

Wonderful liveaboard experience
One of the guys in our group was an inexperienced diver. The dive crew watched him carefully with one on one supervision which was very much appreciated. We did the Nitrox and Advanced Open Water certification courses while on board with our dive master Bon. The dives were highly varied and amazing. Shout out to the kitchen crew who cooked us up some great meals in a tiny galley. The only issue we had was difficulty communicating with the boat through Liveaboard.com prior to the trip. I would recommend communicating directly with Big Blue Diving Khao Lak through WhatsApp and email in the final few weeks prior to the trip to confirm transportation and equipment rental details, etc.
