MV Andaman

We made the 8 day cruise on the explore. everything was perfect, the crew, the boat, the dives and special mention to the chef kitchen for her 5 star meals and to our Ori Guide for her kindness, availability and smile. Thank you to the rest of the team just as great. MERCI

One of the best dive crews I’ve ever dive with. Although my 8 day liveaboard was shortened to 3 days because of bad weather in the last week of the season, I was so happy after the 3 days. They took us to beautiful divesites at the Similan islands. My diveguide was Ori (instructor number 544238) and she knows her job. She explains everything so clear and I was blown away of her knowledge about sea life. Not only Ori, but all the diveguides gave clear briefings and debriefings. Not touching anything (compared to most diveguides I’ve met in Thailand) and if someone would touch something, they would not be allowed to dive anymore. I believe this is how you garantuee your future as a diver and as a dive club. The boat was great, food was good, reasonable priced beers and a delicious barbecue on the last evening. I will be coming back to Seadragon but unfortunately without Ori because she will be diving around Nusa Penida in Indoniesa.

I did a 4 days liveaboard on seadragons MV Andaman and it was absolutely fantastic! As a solo traveling girl i felt very safe and welcomed right from the beginning. The boat itself exceeded my expectations, the food was delicious and the crew was the absolute sweetest. My Divemaster Pang was incredibly good at English and exceptionally professional, but still managed to make each dive fun. I would absolutely come back again!

Short version: just book it. They're amazing. Boat is super cool, crew very professional, food is delicious and they are well organized. Long version, because I want to detail on the above as this was one of those travel experiences that lifted my spirits to such good levels and made me want to redo it on yearly basis. In no particular order, here's the awesome things that I experienced while doing a liveaboard with SeaDragon - super professionally organized. Communication was smooth, all inquiries replied. All went smooth at the shop, transfer, things were transferred ok to and from the boat, all was well structured and in its place and the whole boat had a very well functioning system. The crew was ALWAYS taking care that stuff is at its place, cleaned if needed, everything that had to be changed between dives was being taken care of. They quickly learn everyone's equipment, various needs and by the second day you feel pampered on how they proactively meet your needs. Always with a smile and a gimmick when possible. And one thing that really adds to the feeling of professionalism and organization is that most of the crew wears the tshirts or tops with the company logo. It just feels like a well functioning team. - food. I'm just still drooling when I recall how EACH dish placed on the table was worth of any cooking shows. Even if the parts that would repeat. It was fingerlicking delicious and always in good quantities. There was always something to snack on for free or some icecream or cold beverage if you wanted the paid items. The boat was well stocked on everything that we seemed to be needing for the liveaboard - equipment: top notch. And I rented most of it. No tears, well marked so you always know which one is yours, hardly any bad smells or anything looking suspicious - sleeping quarters and facilities: super comfy. The beds have a nice enough size for you and some items you'd like to have by your side, reading lamps, electricity. And a good enough space for a piece of luggage per person in the sleeping room. Warm/hot water was not an issue and all facilities seemed to always be kept nice and tidy. You'd have tons of big clothespins to hang your clothes on the racks around the boat. - dive crew: no more than 4 divers per guide. Crew is professional, knowledgeable, always cracking a joke and keeping a good mood. Very nice dive briefings, very serious about times and safety and they made sure to skip a dive site if the conditions were not ideal. - overall atmosphere: people would mingle and interact pretty much after departing the dive shop and on the way to the boat. The shared quarters make it so that it has a very friendly atmosphere and most time between dives ends up being spent in the common areas, so it really feels like you're among friends for the whole trip. And I was told it's always like that on this boat. And that's why people keep coming back - a special shout out to the person who led the dive trip I attended - Lucinda. She ended up being my guide as I struggled with some air issues, but even without that. Every dive crew needs an amazing human being like her. Every time she spoke to us, to deliver the general intro of the boat or the trip, to do a dive briefing, to transmit some info, to make a request for someone to fix a forgotten item. Every single time, she would do it in such a nice and pleasant manner and always with a witty joke when possible. And her way of keeping the whole adventure together surely contributed to the overall feeling of such a smooth and pleasant adventure. Grateful to have had her as the dive lead for this excursion. - shore excursions: weather permitting, they drop the people on the boat to some of the lovely islands and actually do their best to do so when the crowds are not at their peak. So it is another nicely planned detail to make sure we also enjoyed the time off diving

On 24.04.25 my son made a Discover Dive at the Sea Dragon Divers. I was able to accompany him as an open water diver underwater. He was absolutely thrilled. His German instructor took a lot of time and was very patient and nice. Top! It should be emphasized that Stephan - the owner - took a lot of time and communication effort (with PADI and me) in advance because my daughter was not allowed to dive easily due to health problems. I can only recommend the Sea Dragon Divers! Tim
