Amazing first time!
This was our first Liveaboard and it was a great experience. The crew puts safety first, friendliness and comfort was also addressed. I thought the number of guests on board was perfect.

Great liveaboard with Blue Dolphin!
Great liveaboard experience. Rooms are comfortable. The service and staff were amazing. You definitely don’t loose weight as the food is superb!! They are detailed oriented - like when you finish a dive they have hot little towels waiting for you. They also have detail items for cameras - like special towels for cameras and air to dry them. Dives were great. Everyone on the boat has a smile and is making sure that everyone is happy. Highly recommend. We are seasoned divers and have done multiple liveaboards- and this one stood out for us.

Can't Find a Con
I've never felt so honored to write a review. Coming from the USA to SE Asia for the first time, my friend and I were unsure what to expect aboard the Blue Dolphin. Specifically, I was uncertain they'd be able to accommodate my vegan+ gluten friendly diet, but I was so ignorant! The Blue Dolphin and her crew were the perfect balance of kindness and fun. They were extremely professional, but were able to enjoy laughs and stories all together. The ship is as large and spread out as I could hope. Plenty of room for quiet reading or sharing of fish tales. The rooms were kept so clean and cool. After each dive, the crew handed us a fresh drink and warm towel which became the only good part of getting out of those beautiful waters. To top it all off, I think I can say with full honesty that the stuffed me to the brim with some of the best food I've had in my entire life. Traveling through asia as a gluten free vegan was not easy, or not until I boarded the Blue Dolphin. I'm still thinking about those curries a month later. My review wouldn't be complete without a heartfelt thank you to Bri, our lovely guide. There were only 12 drivers aboard, and Bri + my buddy and I had our own unique dive each time. Bri's energy and excitement helped us embrace the beauty of this area, and she's extremely knowledgeable about the sea and its critters! Wow, what a great crew, and a trip to remember. Thank you, Big Blue!

Awesome
I am an experienced liveaboard diver. I have been diving on much more expensive liveaboard boats. However I have never been treated as well as I was treated on the blur Dolphin. The staff literally bent over backwards to accommodate all my needs, both dietary and physical. The next time I go diving in Thailand it will be with the blue Dolphin without a 2nd thought.

This was my first liveabord and I enjoyed it immensely.
This was my first liveabord and I enjoyed it immensely. Everything was very well organized, efficient and taken care of. The dive guides were great. The dive sites were great. The food was amazing. Everyone was very welcoming, friendly and just wanted to dive and have a great time. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone who has ever considered diving in the Similan islands.
