    M/V The Witch in Similan

    Does anyone have any experience with M/V The Witch with Sea King for the Similan Islands? Would you recommend it? Is it the same as The Really Wicked Witch anyway?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi There,

    Yes, its the Really Wicked Witch with a name change.

    Always good reports coming back from this well run budget boat but it depends on what your priorities are when looking for a liveaboard trip.

    It seems like somebody is not completely up to date.

    The Witch (yes, same boat as Really Wicked Witch) will be replaced by a brand new boat, The Phoenix for the next season.

    It's pronounced CARE-oh, and

    The (Really Wicked) Witch is a low-budget boat that is popular with divers from Malaysia and Singapore. The boat (and other similar ones, such as the meant to replace the Witch) is fine if you don't mind sleeping in fairly close quarters and sharing a limited number of bathrooms/showers. The divers I've had with the operator have generally come back reasonably happy with the diving and the food.

    Thanks OnTheSpot, stevenl, and Quero for your responses. I know I'm not paying a lot for this boat so I can't expect too much. I'm just looking for overall cleanliness, knowledge of DM and staff, and user-friendliness, so to speak.

    I'm looking into booking it for March 2011. It sounds like I'm getting myself into a newly-renovated boat then?
