No Troubles Just Bubbles

Highly recommend. NTJB was very responsive and helped me each step of the way. The crew of the Koon9 was very organized and helpful. The dive leads friendly and professional. I will do more live-aboards with these folks. Great experience.

I booked a liveaboard trip to Similian Islands with this company, 3D2N on a "flexible" boat OJOS7, managed by Kor Oceanic diving center. Contact and customer service from both companies is absolutely amazing. Prices and value for the money was also hard to beat, I extended my stay on the boat by 1 day, did total of 14 dives in 4D3N. Dive guide Bruno was very nice and peaceful, staff very nice as well, food was great and I was never hungry, portions were large, cabins simple but comfortable, bathrooms clean with warm shower. All diving equipment in good condition, they fill tanks to 220 bar which is a great thing, allowing longer and safer dives. Schedule of the boat trip is defined upfront and they stick to it. I'm definitely coming back on this boat next time I'll be in Khao Lak.

An Unforgettable Family Adventure! ​ ​We just returned from an incredible trip on this liveaboard (Koon9), and I cannot recommend it highly enough also for families—even those with mixed interests! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. ​Exceptional Organization & Diving ​The handling of our booking was perfect, and the logistics (including the hotel pickup & drop off) were smooth and stress-free. Once on board, we were greeted with such warmth. The cabins were comfortable, and the diving was top-tier. I want to give a special shout-out to my guide, Aoy; her expertise and personality made every dive truly memorable. ​Fun for the Whole Family ​What made this trip truly special was how well they catered to everyone: ​For the Non-Diver: My husband absolutely loved the snorkeling opportunities. He felt fully included in the adventure. ​ For the Little One: Our 5-year-old son was completely "spoiled" by the entire crew! They were so attentive and kind to him, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the trip knowing he was in great hands. ​ A Small Note on Dining ​The food was delicious and well-prepared. My only very minor suggestion would be to include a bit more authentic Thai cuisine. The menu seemed slightly tailored toward guests from other Asian regions, and as lovers of local flavors, we would have enjoyed a few more traditional Thai dishes. ​Summary ​Overall, this was a fantastic experience. We felt valued as guests and well-cared for as a family. We are already looking forward to our next trip with this team. We will definitely be back!
