Amazing! - Spending 6 days on The Junk was one of the best dive experiences I've had. The diving is beautiful, with healthy reefs and an abundance of fish and marine life,... read more and the sites we visited were quiet and didn't have tonnes of other divers on them (with the exception of Richelieu Rock, but that was still fantastic). The boat itself is also great - really comfortable, great bunks, hot showers, places to relax, and plenty of room for gear and kitting up.

What really made the experience great though was the people. The crew and dive staff were all amazing - friendly, welcoming, smiling, knowledgeable - their attitude was infectious and it made for such a wonderful week! I honestly don't have any bad thing to say about The Junk, and I'd love to do the whole thing over again one day!

  Fanatic diving with an amazingly attentive crew - Great liveaboard. (I’ve been on 12, am Padi Rescue) The dive guides (especially Jai!) we’re really amazing. The pointed out a lot of things to notice and gave us space... read more to truly look at something if we wanted. We had small groups and a lot of personal attention. I was worried that since I was in the boat with a bunch of friends who were snorkeled or OW I would be very displeased with the dive quality but cruise director Brian did an excellent job picking sites so I was very happy with the quality of dives.

The boat is very clean and well maintained. There are a lot of public areas. They have out a lot of thought into little details like having clips for each person to have things dry on railings and a number bottled system so you always have water and can find yours and aren’t creating plastic waste. A truly well thought out operation.

The cabins with ensuites are small and cramped compared to the newer boats. I spent very little time in the cabin so it wasn’t a big deal. Bed was comfortable enough and they did get me another pillow when I asked for a second.

The food was good and plentiful. Lots of options every meal.

The crew is outstanding. I don’t how I’ll get into my wetsuit without Hem to help me now! Every crew member was smiling and attentive. They were really excellent to be around and made the wonderful diving even better.

When underwater we saw other boats with 10ish divers with one DM. It was a sh*t show. That made me even more grateful for how wonderful the small groups and attentive guides were on the Junk. Highly recommend for Similan and Surin Trip!

  An incredible diving and liveaboard experience. - A beautiful traditional boat, very tasty food, a super friendly and professional crew, and some out of this world diving spots. Recommend 100%.

  Beautiful ship and kind staff - Spent 5 days aboard The Junk on our recent trip to Thailand. I cannot say enough about the crew who were welcoming, friendly, and professional. The kitchen staff were fabulous... read more at managing my allergies while making delicious and varied meals. All the crew played their respective roles flawlessly. Our dives were carried out efficiently. The sites were beautiful and marine life varied. Guides were great at pointing out critters. Chai and Ayoka made our safety top priority while keeping things exciting. Fresh drinks were served after each dive and the bean bags on the sun deck were the perfect lounging spot for surface intervals. Cabins are quaint but clean and functional. We will be sure to book a longer voyage on our next trip!
