点评:Another vote for the Smiling Seahorse - a very good boat. Purpose built for serious diving, the thought and care put into it by its owner and crew really shows. Everything you need is available, easy to access, well maintained and functional, without anything extraneous or funky. There is a devotion to diving, to underwater photography, to the marine life, to the history and natural history of the Similan Islands and Burma, to the guest experience and developing our skills. Our group did the week-long South to North Andaman Sea trip in January 2026, and each day was better than the one before. The diving is exceptional, with healthy corals and masses and masses of fish, even before we got to the climax of Richelieu Rock. They include an black water dive on each trip, a truly unique opportunity.
We received tremendous support from the dive guides and the crew alike, who gracefully and respectfully accommodated everyone's needs. Even the little things - one of the deck crew noticed that the little strap connecting the dust cap to my regulator was close to breaking off and offered to repair it. He did a beautiful job and I'll be reminded of his generosity and kindness each time I dive that reg. Our guide, James, has years of experience, like many masters, conveyed his knowledge with simplicity and clarity (and humor - whew!). I became a better diver following his example. I keep remembering the happy anticipation of standing at the stern, all kitted up, waiting for the captain's signal to jump. Next trip - Burma.
The cabins are simple and comfortable, although you may want to bring a pad if you're not a fan of firm beds. A/C and hot water in each cabin - all good.
Everyone in our group, from the experts with many thousands of dives to the recently certified, to a couple of non-diving spouses, loved the Smiling Seahorse!

潜水向导和船员都给予了我们极大的支持,他们热情周到、体贴入微地满足了每个人的需求。即使是一些小事——一位甲板船员注意到连接防尘帽和调节器的带子快要断了,主动提出帮我修理。他做得非常出色,每次我使用那艘船潜水时,都会想起他的慷慨和友善。我们的向导詹姆斯经验丰富,像许多大师一样,他用简洁明了的方式传授知识(而且还很幽默——呼!)。在他的指导下,我的潜水水平有了很大的提高。我至今仍记得当时站在船尾,全副武装,等待船长发出下水信号时的那种兴奋和期待。下一次旅行——缅甸。
船舱简洁舒适,不过如果你不喜欢硬床,最好带个垫子。每个船舱都有空调和热水——一切都很棒。
我们团里的每个人,从拥有数千次潜水经验的专家到刚拿到潜水证的新手,再到几位不会潜水的配偶,都非常喜欢“微笑海马号”!
