Dive Conditions

no diving after drinking  

The dive deck and camera tables are small and crowded.  Some divers were
permitted to spread miscellaneous gear on the camera tables but cramped
quarters on dive deck encouraged this.  

Overall Rating

The dive sites in Thai waters were usually crowded with other liveaboards
and day boats.  By the time we got into the waters of Myanmar, we had the
ocean to ourselves. Visibility wasn't as good as we had hoped and there
were lots of cold thermoclines. Could dive 4 tanks a day (including the
night dive). Cabins are well-maintained and comfortable (but a bit short on
towels, although we understand they have plans to add more). Food is
outstanding--mostly Thai cuisine--and plentiful; Both Western and Asian
breakfasts were available each morning. The crew is very attentive, caring
and friendly and went way beyond the call of duty in catering to the
divers.  Tips for crew were handled in the best possible way when the owner
called all the crew together to say goodbye on our last morning and handed
the cup with crew tips directly to them. A few negatives: Anggun carries 14
divers (just 11 on our trip) but only one skiff; dive deck is small and
rule that group 2 doesn't suit up until group 1 is in the water needs to be
followed; no deck towels which is an inconvenience; divers are divided into
groups that dive with same divemaster for every dive--it would be nice to
alternate divemasters. All in all, it was a good trip and the positives far
outweighed the negatives.
