"Excellent service with The Smiling Sea Horse" by

Apart from amazing underwater experience around Andaman Sea (Surin Island, Bon Islands, Tachai and Richelieu rock), the life on this boat is safe and relax.
This diving boat defines the standard of what should diving boat look like. The rooms are cozy in tiny space with shower room inside. The ventilation is perfect since the door and windows are on the rear side of the boat.
Sleeping on this boat is different. You never feel running engine when you go to bed. However in the morning, the boat is ready for new dive site.
Total number of traveller (around 18) is match the boat size. The platform for giant strike to the ocean is organized with all equipment spread around evenly for red and blue team. (Look at the platform picture)
The food is excellent. Loving barbecue on last dinner and everything on the fridge
If you care about environment, this boat provide you with their bottle to refill water all the time on the trip. This boat also provide different buckets for each type of rubbish. The straw for coconut is also stainless.
If you love to find out what you saw underwater, they provide many book to find the creatures you found.
Surely go diving again with The Smilling Seahorse
