MV Dive Race

"The facilities on the boat were incredible for a 'budget' trip. We had a big room with own bathroom, towels, sheets etc were clean and nice. They had spare equipment which was lucky seeing as our fins didn't fit. Staff were all incredible, we didn't have to lift a finger the whole trip. The deck hands helped you on and off with your equipment and changed your tanks, they even put your fins on for you! The cooks also cleaned up after us and being a vego was no drama at all. They cleaned our rooms every day. Beto the Trip leader was incredible especially. Super friendly and knowledgeable.
There were only 4 in each dive group and we were grouped according to number of dives we'd done which is pretty smart and we went down only 2 groups at a time so not such a busy dive deck; and they made it so the groups who had longer dive times went first, again very smart. They certainly know their stuff." - Kym Beaton, Australia ...

"Even we arrived late the pick up worked out perfect. The boat was waiting and everything was perfectly arranged. Beto did a great job as our diving was slight different to the thinking of our Divemaster, so we were able to change the group and had great dives." - Joerg Koepke, Japan ...

"Food was far better than expected. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Facilities fantastic." - Yvonne Aww, Singapore ...

"Everything was nicely arranged and very orderly, from the cabin cleanliness to dive schedule, from food to crew." - Ng Han Seong, Malaysia ...

"We went on the liveaboard Dive Race. The Thai dive boat staff and chefs were absolutely wonderful and I have never been treated better by any dive operation anywhere. They were alwys there to help with gear and getting in an out of the water, worked very hard with a genuine smile at all times, and were simply awesome in everyway. The food was well prepared, plentiful and very good overall. I rate the Thai dive boat staff a 10 on a 1-5 scale. They were awesome! They made me (and I think every diver) feel like Jacques Costeau! Bravo!" - Ken Fidalgo, USA ...

"I can only say that the crew of the MV Dive Race were superb and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time. I will be using Dive The World's services in the future and may well take another trip on the Dive Race. I will certainly be recommending Dive The World and MV Dive Race to diving friends and colleagues around the world!!" - James Davies, UK ...

"Dive Race was an excellent ship. The crew were always very helpful and informative, the dive masters were extremely knowledgeable, the food was excellent, and the timetable of the trip was well laid out. It was an excellent trip with excellent facilities and crew, and I would be more than happy to travel on the same boat again." - Anneka Hughes, Australia ...

"The crew took care about everybody. The first days we had rough sea, so they chose dive sites we were still able to dive relaxed. Safety first was a very good decision. Our divemaster was a good and responsible diver but he didn't know the dives sites as much as I expected. He did a very good job but next time I will choose a more experienced divemaster. " - Joerg Koepke, Germany ...

"We only have praise for the crew of Dive Race, good cabin, excellent food, friendly and helpful crew, and the dive director Beto was very professional and an excellent ambassador for the company." - Liam Donnelly, Australia ...

"I have only good words to say about all the boat crew and the diving team. They were all very helpful and offered a quality service. The boat equippement wasn't the newest, but everything worked perfectly and positively exceeded our expectations." - Rodrigo Canalli, Brazil ...
