Review Body: Just got back from an amazing diving trip to the Similan Islands aboard MV Aqua — what an experience! The diving deck was super spacious, and the crew and dive guides were so friendly and safety-focused, which made every dive relaxed and fun. The food was next-level — the chef spoiled us with hotpot steamboat, dim sum, Thai crispy pork, fresh sushi and sashimi, and more. Every meal was a treat! 🍣🍲 If you’re planning to dive in the Similan Islands, highly recommend going with MV Aqua — great vibes, great people, and unforgettable dives!

Review Body: My wife and I went on a cruise on the MV Raga. The service was nothing short of perfect, the crew was great. They always made sure we had plenty of food and dry towels after each dive. The rooms are great at all levels and the boat is really big and allows movement without giving a feeling of crowding even though we had over 20 people on the boat. The guides are very professional and the atmosphere is light and professional. Thank you very much 🙏🏼

Boutique dive boat with luxe vibes, gourmet food, and best Thai dive sites
Step aboard a liveaboard that feels more like a boutique hotel than a traditional dive boat. This 34-metre premium steel vessel is built for comfort and relaxation, with en-suite cabins and air-conditioning to keep you refreshed after each dive. Between exploring Thailand’s top dive sites — including the Similan Islands, Richelieu Rock, Boong Soon Wreck, Koh Bon, and Koh Tachai — you can unwind in the air-conditioned indoor lounge with an 85” movie screen, or sip a cold drink while lounging on the sun-soaked deck, taking in the endless sea views.Designed for certified divers seeking a personal and luxurious experience, the boat keeps numbers low (max 24 guests) and offers a 1:5 divemaster ratio. That means more guidance, safer dives, and insider access to hidden marine-life hotspots.After your dives, indulge in gourmet meals ranging from dim sum and sushi to steamboat, all served with impeccable service. Every detail, from cabin comfort to dive logistics, is crafted for a smooth, stress-free adventure.This is more than a dive trip — it’s a dive-eat-chill-repeat experience through Thailand’s underwater playgrounds. Swim among swirling schools of fish, explore dramatic rock formations, and relax in style, knowing every moment aboard this premium liveaboard is designed for your ultimate comfort.Luxury, adventure, and unforgettable dives — all from the comfort of a truly premium boat.What to Expect14 dives across epic sites like Similan Islands,Boon Soong wreck, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai & Richelieu RockSpacious AC cabins with private bathrooms — no queuing for showers!Expert dive guides (1:5 ratio) who know where to find the magic underwaterGourmet meals onboard, from Thai crispy pork to fresh sushiTransfers from Phuket hotels to the boat included (Naithon, Patong, Karon, Kata, Rawai, Chalong, Phuket Town)Chill-out time in the air-conditioned lounge or out on the sun deckOnboard Wi-Fi to stay mildly connected (if you want to!)Dive Sites & Marine Life HighlightsKoh Bon – Manta Ray Hotspot: Famous for its manta ray cleaning station, Koh Bon is the top site for spotting Oceanic Manta Rays, especially from February–April. Divers can also encounter leopard sharks, reef sharks, moray eels, octopus, cuttlefish, and vibrant reef fish such as sweetlips and trevallies. The site features a dramatic wall and ridge covered in soft corals and sea fans.Koh Tachai – Big Schools & Pelagic Action: Known for its strong currents and impressive underwater pinnacles, Koh Tachai offers exciting dives with large schools of barracuda, trevally, fusiliers, and other hunters. Occasional sightings of manta rays and whale sharks occur during the season. The site also hosts nudibranchs, shrimps, and healthy soft coral formations around massive granite boulders.Richelieu Rock – Thailand’s Best Marine Biodiversity: Richelieu Rock is one of the richest dive sites in Thailand, renowned for its extraordinary diversity of marine life. Expect huge schools of fish, barracudas, snappers, trevallies, and seasonal encounters with whale sharks.
