This is an updated report. My original report did not fully reflect certain categories. Faultless liveaboard arrangements were made by Siam Dive & Sail (John Williams), Phuket, Thailand. Excellent crew/diver ratio. Usually 3-4 divers with divemaster or leader. Dive staff was superb, looked for ways to assist. Good critter finders. About the only thing that you did on your own was to put on your wetsuit. Pre-dive briefings were short and to the point. Never a doubt as to where you were, where you were going, and what you might see. Remainder of the crew was equally personable and helpful. Absolutely no prompting or hinting for gratuities, which they roundly deserved. I can't think of one criticism. The boat was very well run. |
