Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Absolute Gem for exploring the South Andaman Sea. The crew's dedication was exceptional - they went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt welcome, actively listening to our preferences and accommodating every need, from dietary requirements to providing medicine when needed. The dive operations were impressively professional. Briefings were comprehensive with meticulous attention to detail, and the safety culture on board was exemplary - something that can't be taken for granted on liveaboards. As a sidemount diver using twin tanks, I particularly appreciated their flexibility and support with my uncommon configuration. The crew assisted at every step, handling my second tank and making water entries and exits seamless. The food deserves special mention - every single meal was outstanding. I genuinely looked forward to each sitting, and there wasn't a single dish I didn't enjoy. The boat itself is brand new and pristine, featuring comfortable cabins, a relaxing sun deck, large tables at the stern, and a spacious dive deck that never felt cramped. They offered a reasonably priced nitrox course on board, which I'd strongly recommend for anyone planning to make the most of the four daily dives. The dive sites showcased fantastic variety - from dramatic walls and cliffs to shallow coral gardens and deeper reefs. Adventure seekers will love the numerous swim-throughs, and the large wreck dive was particularly memorable. The night dive added another dimension to the experience. The guides had an excellent eye for marine life, ensuring every dive had its highlights. My personal favorite was encountering leopard sharks. Overall, Seatopia delivered an outstanding liveaboard experience with attention to detail that sets them apart.”
