Dive Review of
Ocean Rover in
Thailand/Myanmar

 KBR & Komodo Indonesia, Truk, Palau, Cocos, St. Vincent, Sipadan, 

Dive Conditions

120 depth max, follow computer, no alcohol before dive; treated like adults  

No E-6 processing (so much for film cameras), good to great for digital
still and video. They had lots of work areas and sufficient outlets for
charging cameras and such in the main salon.  It might be tight if all 16
(maximum) divers were photo/video heads.  Large flat screen monitor for
viewing pictures from cameras (direct) or from lap tops  

Overall Rating

Probably the best run dive boat we've been on (over 25 live-aboards).  The
crew is absolutely magnificient: very friendly, very helpful, very
competent. The best.
The diving that we did around Thailand (except for Richelieu Rock) was
quite mediocre.  It was much better diving when were in Myanmar waters
(Mergui Archipelago).  There were lots of critters: harlequin shrimp, ghost
pipefish, morays, snake eels, mmantis shrimp, decorator crabs, seran
shrimp, stone fish, lots of scorpion fish (multiple species).  As for
bigger fish: some leopard sharks, nurse sharks, and 4 or 5 mantas.
The food was quite good, although we were told to be careful with the Thai
green spicy sauce (yikes!).  After about a week, the food became
repetitive.
Hans, the head divemaster, while friendly, was preoccupied with doing his
own photography, rather than leading or showing us the critters.
