Great week!
The diving was for the most part was truly wonderful with Richelieu Rock being the star! We were lucky enough to dive on it four times with our last dive having the incredible experience of seeing a whale shark. We had a really great trip on the Dolphin Queen! For a budget trip it was wonderful.

GO!
Pros: We were the only group at Richelieu Rock for the sunrise dive which was so amazing! The crew/divemasters are fantastic and there's a reason they have been famous for their food- it was incredible. It is a Thai family-owned company as well :) Cons: I do think the last dive could be somewhere better than the wreck site. And make sure to bring ear plugs for the engine the first night getting out to the islands.

Perfect boat for us
We loved our diving experience on the Dolphin Queen. It is family owned and operated, so that made it feel extra special. Everyone on board was super friendly and helpful, including the other guests. The rooms were small, but we were only in them to sleep, so fine for us. It was indeed a great value for the money.

Great experience, great scheduling and great dives!!
Extremely well cared liveaboard experience. Number of divers on the boat is just ideal, number of guides/divers as well, cabins are comfortable, food is plenty and well done, drinks are available anytime and the best part is the dive schedule. Absolutely nothing is rushed and there's plenty of surface interval between dives. I've been to a few liveaboards already and I can say the scheduling of the Dolphin Queen was simply the best. You can eat, sleep, dive and repeat with ease. Not to mention the dive sites!! You won't be disappointed with the Similan Islands. Book yours and go!! Completely worth it and highly recommended!!

A great dive grouo
Richelieu Rock, we did 5 dives there. We were very lucky for the weather, not too hot and not to cold. We made a lot of new friends.

- The other people. Most were young and I’m older, so it was nice to dive with young people. The guides were excellent. The food was delicious.

Come to dive. Stay for food.
With experienced guides and a crew that has worked together for many seasons, I would highly recommend this liveaboard to dive around the Similan and Surin Islands. This was my third liveaboard. Hands down. Best food!

Go for the Diving, Stay for the Food
If you’re looking for an affordable way to get the most out of diving in Thailand, this is by far the way to go. We spent weeks trying to plan a budget friendly way of seeing the main dive sites and weren’t able to come up with a good solution. For the price, including accommodation, all meals, diving, and the quality of the team, there are no better options than this trip. The food was perfect, every meal, and we got to try new Thai dishes every day. The dive sites were nothing short of incredible.

Unbelievable views with a great crew
Dive crew helped me improve my diving and we saw amazing sights with very clear water. The food was also really good, Thai themed despite being on a boat. Night doves, sunset dives, so many dives it was awesome.

- We saw so many amazing fish and coral. The dive crew were very experienced and a lot of fun. So much diving and so enjoyable.
