Beautiful ship with well thought-out details, as the owner commissioned the ship himself. He was also present for parts of the tour. Relatively large bathroom with separate shower. Cabin small, storage space ok. Well maintained. Friendly crew, very helpful, pleasant to deal with. Good planning and smooth operation including all transfers. 4 dives/day fitted well into the daily schedule without it being hectic. Nice tour, gladly again.

Unfortunately, the vegetation on the Similans is usually in a poor state. The outer dive sites are certainly beautiful, but at the time of our trip in November visibility was poor due to the current.

Hi, we had a great safari with great guides and great dive spots. However, we have dived Kho Bon, Kho Tachai and Richelieu Rock but not at Surin Islands.but we have booked Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock, Surin Island. I would have liked to do 2 of the 4 Richelieu Rock dives at Surin Island.
Otherwise it was very great!

We can highly recommend the MV Bavaria. Top service with top guides.
The cabins are small, but for sleeping you don't need anything big.
We look forward to the next time!

I can only recommend it. I liked it very, very much. Everyone did a great job. The dive sites were great and we could always make 4 TG. In between pure relaxation.

The cabins are simply too small, are not cleaned sufficiently, mattresses much too hard and have a musty smell, deficiencies in the inventory such as bathroom door that no longer remains open; the dive platform is also too small for 24 divers; even if started in groups, some divers can not wait until their group's turn. The dive spots Similan were in a frightening condition, after that it got better until the absolute highlight Richelieu Rock

Cabin:
very small, but sufficient. Standard cabin, without private bathroom everyone must decide for themselves.
Boat:
Camera table and corresponding loading facilities not or only limited available.
Dive deck not optimal
Food:
Generally good-very good and plentiful. Again and again amazing, what can be cooked in the small kitchens ;)
Dive guides:
Our group was composed of experienced divers, which made it very easy for the guide. Briefing, etc. was perfectly okay.
Safety:
- Was my first safari without safety briefing, which was a bit surprising.
- Dive deck not optimally arranged ("L-shape"), so there is always a risk of unintentional "crashes".
- The boat is not well balanced. During the whole safari the boat was "tilted" (5-10 degrees to port (left)), which does not give a safe impression and could lead to high risks in strong swells.
Dive spots:
Thailand is now unfortunately completely "fished out" :( During a week safari many reefs were unfortunately broken and hardly/no big fish present, no comparison with safaris in the Maldives or Egypt. Highlight is and remains Richilieu Rock.

I had booked a cabin on the lower deck, but already in the first hours the AirCon was defective. To the Rep. back in port it became clear, it needs a new one which was not to be found within hrs. Therefore, I was allowed to move for the second part of the trip in a suite on the upper deck. That there can be problems is normal. The question is how to deal with it. Markus as well as the team on the boat have done everything that I feel comfortable. And they succeeded.

Besides the great boat crew, I have to mention the food. It was damn difficult not to fill my belly every time with the fantastic dishes. And be sure to check out the super small kitchen in which they conjure up all this! Simply indescribably delicious!

The fact that I rate the dive spots a little worse, is not due to Loma Diving, but that I am perhaps a little spoiled and would always rate my dives in Thailand a little worse than other spots. But that is my personal experience and surely everyone feels differently.
I can say with a lot of experience in Thailand, Philippines, Maldives, Red Sea, etc. I can only heartily recommend Loma Diving for the tours they offer. Markus and his team do a great job and it was a lot of fun with them. Even if they are not the best spots, I will definitely dive with Loma Diving again.

Good grouping for the dives. Dive guide Nida has led us on beautiful paths through the underwater world. The Similans and especially Richlieu Rock are absolutely worth a trip.
Our cabin on the lower deck was ok. The was mattress a bit thin, with time everything was just damp.

Unfortunately, the Surins could not be dived due to weather conditions. Thus, the most beautiful dive sites were unfortunately missing.

Very nice chrew, everything clean and tidy. So far the smallest cabins on safari. Small ship for very many guests. Dive deck very small, dinkis (too) small. Very noisy as engines and generators directly under the cabins - poorly insulated. We like Thai food very much and it was also very good. However, it needs some variety.
Several dive spots were repetitive.
This is "complaining on a high level". It was a nice safari!

I was very satisfied with the Bavaria, the service was top, the diving was very good as well as the food, unfortunately the cabins were never made as I am used to from the Pindito.

The dive sites have not recovered as I had hoped, but the Bavaria can not recommend this without any problems.
