A Review of MV Camic Liveaboard

maybe I just caught them at a bad time but things were not up to a level that other outfits provide. lots of little things that were just sub-par. the room and bathroom was never cleaned during the trip. There was no furniture of any kind on the roof / sun deck so there was no reason to go up there. even bean bags would have been nice. the food was reasonable although most was fried. but the worst part was the total lack of skill of the tender boat. Most times we were expected to swim back to the yacht while the tender just motored around or floated in some other location. a few times the tender would throw out a rope and tow people (in reverse) back to the yacht ! who does that? one evening the weather and seas were getting rough and we were made to swim 150m back to the yacht. unfortunately the seas life did not visit us on any of my 12 dives so the Similan Islands were quite boring. but that is up to Neptune. The boat-boys and skiff operator were untrained. Ive personally been an ocean guide and skiff owner when I was young and know what Im talking about in this regard. Whether its docking the skiff to the yacht, operating the skiff around divers, or bringing people to & from the beach these boys did not know proper handling. We were dropped off (wearing dry clothes) to enjoy a sunset walk from atop Sail Rock but when picked up 1 hour later the skiff boys would not get closer than chest deep even though there was a fixed anchorline they could manage the skiff from. This meant that everyone had to get their dry clothes wet. Yet the propeller was still 1m above the sand.
