Amazing experience with my dive leader and all staff onboard
I had a great time onboard the Mandarin Queen 9. My dive leader Teuy is very experienced, has excellent communication skills and a fun personality. All staff are friendly and professional, always ready to help. Another highlight is the Thai style buffets we had onboard. There are 3 full meals a day and morning and afternoon snacks. We were very well fed during the trip.

Best dives I’ve ever had
I had the best time on mandarin queen 9. The all experience from start to finish was amazing. The boat crew was so nice always strive to give us the best experience, as a vegetarian they always make sure I have something to eat and made special meals for me. The dive masters were the best I dived with and I was pleasure to dive with and the free nitrox was the cherry on the top. If you want to do liveaboard in Thailand don’t think twice and go dive with mandarin queen 9

Great experience
We were satisfied and happy that we chose Mandarin Queen 9 for our first liveaboard. There were movies and games available in-between dives and at night after dives to pass time. Food was great. Free flow snacks and drinks. Alcohol was available onboard and affordable. Crew was experienced and great and always made sure we were comfortable. Dive conditions were not the best but that’s not something that can be controlled but was still good!

A wonderful experience made even better by an exceptional crew
The trip with the Mandarin Queen to the North Andaman Sea was spectacular. The boat itself is very new, well made, and full of amenities that make the experience on board super smooth and very enjoyable. The cabins were large with private bathrooms and aircon at all times. The crew made sure that we were cared for and entertained at all times, from washing our dive towels, cooking great meals and snacks and beating us at Mario Kart. Due to choppy seas we could not spend the planned 4 dives of the 3rd day at Richelieu Rock, but the Manager PicNic made sure that we got some great other dive spots and so we still got some amazing dives done. The crew also took photos of all divers underwater with professional photo gear so that everyone gets some pictures to take home. All in all, it was a truly great experience and we would recommend it 10/10!

Highly recommended with an amazing crew and meals onboard that just gets better everyday
The North Andaman Sea is an absolute gem, home to an incredible variety of dive sites bursting with vibrant marine life, every dive felt like a new adventure. But what truly made this trip unforgettable was the phenomenal crew onboard. Their attention to detail was second to none, with everything running like clockwork thanks to their seamless organisation and clear, friendly communication. The boat was not only well-equipped with all the facilities we needed, including thoughtful touches like dedicated camera stations, but the crew went above and beyond to make us feel cared for. They proactively labelled our dive gear with our names and were always ready to lend a hand, helping us gear up with such ease and efficiency that all we had to do was focus on enjoying the dives. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality turned a great trip into an extraordinary one.

Great liveaboard
I had a great time on this liveaboard. We went on October. We didn’t see pelagic fish but there was a dive with black tip sharks. The guides were funny, knowledgeable and really nice. The group of divers was congenial. The cabin was comfortable and the food was great.

Excellent liveaboard.
Excellent boat. Very attentive to diver needs. Fantastic range and amount of food. Excellent dive briefings for each dive site. Diving was great but challenging currents at times and generally below 20m.

- Food was excellent. Management of the diving and five deck was really excellent. Very attentive to our needs and sorted all the equipment each time and lovely clean towels after every dive. Tenders were well organised, easy to get on and off, very helpful staff, always smiling.

Unforgettable Diving Experience with Mandarin Queen 9
We had an incredible time aboard the Mandarin Queen 9, exploring the stunning dive sites of the North Andaman Sea over four days. With 15 dives in total, we were fortunate to have fantastic weather, excellent visibility, and mild currents, making each dive truly spectacular. The crew was outstanding—friendly, professional, and always ensuring our safety and comfort. Everything was well-organized, yet the schedule never felt rushed. With four dives a day, we still had plenty of time to relax and soak in the beautiful surroundings. The food was exceptional - plentiful, fresh, and delicious, with a great variety of salads, fruits, and hot dishes daily. My friend, who is vegetarian, was especially impressed by the care taken to prepare separate, equally delicious meals for her. The boat itself was spacious and well-equipped, all en-suite rooms, offering a comfortable and enjoyable stay. A special shoutout to Picnic, the manager, whose dedication and hospitality truly made our trip even more memorable. Thank you to the entire Mandarin Queen 9 team for an amazing experience—we can’t wait to return! Highly recommended for any diving enthusiast.
