MV Miss Moon Liveaboard Reviews by customers

Fantastic diving, fantastic food and fantastic crew. The diving was great despite the visibility not being perfect. Some key sightings were big nurse sharks, a bamboo shark and plenty of long-snout shovelnose rays. Some non-diving highlights were the starry night on the way to Burma Banks and dolphins playing at the front of the boat on the way back. The boat was very comfortable. Only 4 out of 5 stars were rated due to us picky guests not enjoying the mattress creating a pinching (Master cabin mattress foldable in half potentially placed in the wrong direction). We can really recommend to book your dive adventure with Miss Moon to enjoy experienced guides, fantastic food and great diving in Myanmar.” Recommended for: Yummy food, great diving, good organization.

Great trip! Previn and the Miss Moon crew really showed us a great time. The diving was fantastic, and the experience as a whole was even better. Visiting the islands was incredible, the sights were great, and downtime between dives was made fun by a great staff and great food. Couldn’t recommend more highly.” Recommended for: The food, the dive sites, and the island experience.

This list of Myanmar liveaboards is in descending customer rating order, followed by Scuba Diving Luxury Rating (SDE Lux Rating, see below), so the liveaboards with the highest customer rating and the best SDE lux rating will be at the top of the list.

The Scuba Diving Earth Luxury Rating (SDE Lux Rating) is explained on each liveaboard review when you click the “Discover Liveaboard” link, and is my own Liveaboard Luxury Rating I’ve assigned to all liveaboards. Choosing between liveaboards is helped by customer scores, and if you get stuck choosing between two or three liveaboards, where each one has a high customer score out of 10, you can use the SDE Luxury Rating to help narrow down your choice.

Think about it like using Booking.com when searching for the best hotel. Booking.com also use a customer score where each customer rates hotels out of 10. This is similar to the liveaboard customer rating, which is also rated out of 10. But let’s say you only like to stay in hotels rated 8 and above on Booking.com, but you also want the hotel to have WIFI or parking, or to have a swimming pool etc. The features each hotel has is usually secondary to the score out of 10.
