Recommend this liveaboard!

I recommend this liveaboard for the great crew and unique itinerary. Hin Daeng and Hin Muang were the highlights of diving in the Andaman Sea for me. Three things that could be improved: 1) comfort of sheets and mattress; 2) Expand the beer selection and include some wine as well; 3) Form groups according to ability/cert level. I was in a large group of 5, and the other 4 divers were a disaster. No control. I was kicked and run into multiple times on every dive; worse, all their kicking/flailing consumed air and led to some shorter dives. Missed out on a whale shark because we had to abort the last dive 10 min before the other groups. Worst people I've ever dove with.

Friendly crew with delicious food that also accommodated my allergy. Unique itinerary - Hin Daeng and Hin Muang were the highlights. Crew & dive guides really seemed to find us the best spots; excellent boat captain.

A fantastic dive tour of the Andaman Sea islands and dive sites.

I selected Gentle Giant because of its itinerary. Most boats either dive the northern or the southern Andaman Sea. In the same trip, Gentle Giant visits all the most important and beautiful dive sites on the Indian Ocean coast of Thailand, both in the north and south. From the Richelieu Rocks teeming with life, through the fifty-plus meter visibility of the Similian Islands, to the sharks of Koh Phi Phi, our guides, fluent in both English and Mandarin, put us on all the best spots! The diving was amazing! The staff and crew were super friendly and helpful, and the food was fresh, savory, and abundant, with Thai, Chinese and Western selections. I look forward to diving again with Gentle Giant in the future.
