“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.”
Recommended for: Service from the crew. Delicious meals. Modern facilities and boat design.
