Exceeded all expectations!
While I am a pretty seasoned traveler, this was my first real liveaboard I wasn´t really sure what to expect. This trip exceeded my expectations was truly one of the best I´ve had in quite a while! I completed my AOW certification onboard, as well as my nitrox certification. I ended up being the only person completing the AOW cert onboard, but Steve was a fantastic instructor. He made my experience really memorable and I felt super safe and taken care of on board. He really tailored the course to me and my abilities, and we ended up getting to do some really fantastic diving that I don't think I would have been able to experience otherwise. Despite some low visibility and strong current conditions, every dive was still really enjoyable because of the lovely divemasters and crew. Nui, Will, Ice, and Ekk were fantastic and so knowledgeable, and Max made a great dive buddy and barista. I was really impressed by the efficiency and organization. Everything you could think of they had, electrolytes, seasickness pills, and plenty of snacks/meals. The cabins were also more spacious than I was expecting, I was in the quad cabin and there were additional cubby spaces to store personal belongings. While the food was delicious, as a pescatarian I struggled a tiny bit with the food options as many were meat based, but I always had something at every meal. Overall, a very memorable trip that I would love to do again in the future.

A Most Enjoyable Trip!
This was a great trip. I can't say enough about the crew. They were attentive without being annoying and they all worked together, taking on jobs that weren't necessarily assigned to them; they all pitched in. The food was amazing! I loved that there were traditional Thai dishes served and not some Americanized menu. They really tried to accommodate food preferences and restrictions. My best diving highlight was the manta ray. So glad she showed up!

Top notch crew & food
Steve & the entire crew were all fantastic! Very helpful & attentive to all our needs, whether it was some personal issue, help getting in or off the boat, getting in or out of our gear, or anything else! Very serving attitudes!! The food was spectacular! Delicious & plentiful! Well run trip! You felt confident that all was going to be taken care of, no matter what it was. And luckily we had a great group of people who all were respectful & got along well! Overall, an excellent trip!! Would gladly do it again!

all you could want to know
I had a very positive experience on the Deep Andaman Queen and can recommend it without reservation. As context, I had not been on a “liveaboard” before therefore had little idea what to expect. This is like dive boot camp with 14 dives in 3.5 days. It’s dive, eat, dive, nap, dive, eat more, dive, eat, night dive, sleep, repeat. I thought I could skip the first dive but quickly learned this was a group experience and you stick with program. This is likely the norm for all liveaboards. After getting with the program and adjusting my mindset to the group mentality, I definitely want to do it again and will seek out the Deep Andaman Queen. Diving: The diving program was excellent. Steve, the head of the program, is a talented and natural leader. He’s in control, enforces safety, and is an effective communicator. Diving itself was great. I hear the Similan Islands are only “above average” diving but for me, with little to compare to, I loved it. We saw everything you could possibly dream of seeing. Steve is very vigilant on watching your level of dive experience and accommodating any requests. For example, I wanted to use a compass and he readily lent one to me on the honor system to return. Dive guide: I was very pleased with my Thai guide Charlie. He had a lot to deal with in me since I had open water certification 4 years ago and very little experience since then. He was great. He got me into tiptop dive shape again. My only comment was that after Dive 2, Charlie took over the camera work for the other couple in my group (who were great people and divers). From Dive 3-14, Charlie saw nothing if it wasn’t through the camera lens. I think we missed a lot of sea life while he was trying to get the perfect shot for the dive clients. Food: The food options were simple, fresh, healthy, and tasty. I had better Thai food on this boat than in restaurants in Phuket or Bangkok. There were plenty of Western options too. There was also plenty of vegetables. I liked the set up on the boat for communal eating too. Cabin: I slept well in three-person cabin number 2. This cabin probably was the worst on the boat in the belly of the ship. I see other reviews complained on noise from the engine, but I used ear plugs and an eye mask (essentials for good sleep in any travel situation). I thought it was fine. If I was in the least desirable cabin, the other cabins must only get better. The bathroom was quite generous in size too. Renting Gear: I ended up bringing my own mask, fins, and wet suit. I would just rent everything in hindsight. No need to bring your own gear. I recommend comparing rental prices with what Steve has in his paperwork vs what your booking agents quotes you for rental prices as it differs a bit. (In general, you need quite a bit of money for park fees, rental gear, the crew tip at the end, and any beer consumption.) Wifi: I didn't know the boat had wifi most of the time. It does. I think they're afraid to advertise wifi in case it fails. It’s a bonus, not a guarantee. Alcohol: The boat offers Thai beer. In the future, I might bring some wine or a bottle of gin for G&Ts, but be prepared to share. This is a communal experience. It would be weird to show up for dinner with a bottle of wine but not share it with the table. This is also not a boozy crowd. Boat: I liked the layout of the boat too. I had four different “go to” kindle read spots between dives and unlimited hot tea. There wasn't too much A/C which was great -- I was never cold except the dive briefings in a sealed off A/C room. I was never too hot either wishing for A/C. You step right off the boat for the dives. The only minor complaint was a very nice part of the boat was dedicated to smoking. I would ban smoking altogether, but the Thai crew definitely want to smoke somewhere. This a quality experience done right. Thank you Deep Andaman Queen.
