Highlights
The SeaWorld 1 liveaboard offers year-round diving in Thailand (Similan, Surin, Phi-Phi) and Myanmar (Mergui Archipelago). SeaWorld 1 caters to 18 guests in 9 cabins. On the main deck are 3 en-suite double-bed master cabins (with private bathrooms) and 2 double-bed master cabins. On the upper deck, there are 4 bunk-bed cabins. All rooms feature individually controlled AC and storage space. The upper deck has a lounge area with a TV, DVD, and a sound system. There is also a spacious sun deck with bean bags and beach beds, perfect for relaxing between dives. During the day, the chef serves 4 delicious meals of authentic Thai and international food. Tea, coffee, soft drinks, snacks, and water are provided throughout the day.
SeaWorld 1 has several multi-day itineraries. Typical 5-day/4-night trips sail to the northern Andaman, such as Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock, offering a variety of diving experiences - deep to shallow, wall to reef, and macro to wide-angle photography. Get lucky with Whale Sharks, Mantas, Leopard sharks, and more exotic marine life. The 6/7-day trips take place in the Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar. Myanmar only recently opened its waters in the late 1990s after being closed for over 50 years. Few divers have seen this untouched reef since only a few dive boats are there.

Decent first liveaboard with some kinks to work out
First things first: Sea World 1 is a budget vessel and it's priced as such. From that perspective, it met our expectations with some caveats. PROS: 1. The food was good and it kept getting better each day. Hats off to the chef! 2. The boat boys were super efficient, attentive and friendly. 3. Our daily itinerary was very dynamic and well-paced. 4. There was always hot water in our cabin. 5. Our dive master, Audrey, was friendly and fun outside of the water. CONS: 1. The dives were not always well-planned. On three different occasions when the current was too strong for us to dive the intended route, we ended up just floating around without a back-up plan. Unfortunately, those were supposed to be some of the most exciting dives of the trip so it was a disappointing that they were not fully thought through. 2. Even though there was a secondary dive master, he did not dive with us which meant that the consistent ratio was 1 dive master for 5 divers. It would have been a much better experience if the secondary dive master had participated in our dives. 3. Audrey seemed like a relatively new instructor on this liveaboard so she may not have known the dive sites as well as the secondary dive master. It would have been a much better experience to change up lead dive masters every once in a while to take advantage of his local knowledge. 4. The secondary dive master dove exclusively with 4 other professional divers who did not make much of an attempt to socialize with the rest of the divers so there were always two distinct groups on the boat during meals and breaks. 5. There were not actual mattresses in the rooms. The "mattresses" are made of the same rubbery, hard material that is used for the outdoor mats and cushions on the eating benches. This made a good night sleep virtually impossible for 4 nights. They absolutely need to buy real mattresses for the rooms.

First Liveaboard
We really enjoyed our trip to Similan. The crew was very nice and we got the best food we ate in Thailand four times a day. The dive site Richelieu Rock was our highlight. We even saw a whale shark. We highly recommend this tour. The price-performance ratio is amazing and the tour is suitable for every diving level.

- Whale shark, best dive guide, amazing food
Great experience
I m a solo traveller and the other divers were all really friendly: i had a lot of fun. The dives sites are nice (richelieu rock is beautiful!)but dont expect to see mantas or whale sharks because they re extremely rare. The mattresses are not really comfortable and in the cabin there was only space for a small backpack. Crew was very nice and the food was really good. I m really happy of my first liveaboard.

Amazing experience
The dive team leader was well organised. Each dive was briefed to ensure a safe and informed dive. Everything from currents, marine life, dive times, drop off and pick up and more helped ensure each dive was as good as it could be. The food cooked by on board chef was excellent. The aft of the boat was organised well and each dive team supported with an experienced dive leader. My wife unfortunately had a medical issue, but the dive leader (Golf) went way above what we expected to make sure nothing was left to chance. We felt very cared for throughout the whole experience. We would highly recommend Sea World 1.
