Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Amazing and Can't wait to go again! I LOVED this trip! This was my first time on a liveaboard and I can't wait to do it again. I am a little worried that Similan Diving Safaris set the bar too high for any other trip I go on in the future! The guides were very friendly and split everyone into smaller groups. They matched all dives to diver level, going farther and deeper when divers proved they could handle it. There was plenty of food all the time, which was really good and authentic. Best vacation I've been on!”
Recommended for: Super knowledgeable and friendly guides. Beautiful dive sites. Great food.
