Queen Scuba: Great Recommendation from Gekko Scuba Divers

[Buadhai]

I'm just getting back into diving after a five year hiatus. I'd enjoyed live aboard trips in the Andaman sea before, but since I was unfamiliar with the current crop of boats I consulted with Marcia from Gekko Scuba Divers. After discussing my budget and comfort requirements, Marcia recommended Queen Scuba. Turned out to be a perfect fit. The boat itself is large, stable, comfortable and convenient. It has a large dive platform with plenty of room for donning your gear. The cabins are fine and the food is excellent. (My only complaint is that I put on a couple of kilos. Please don't tell me it was the beer.)

What follows are a bunch of photos taken aboard the February 25 through March 2, 2011 trip:

Sorry, no underwater camera, yet…
