I've heard mixed reviews on if the Andaman Sea is worth diving - I'm looking at doing a liveaboard (5D/4N, Similans, Richelieu Rock, etc.) there in a few weeks since it's pretty affordable. I'm AOW and just coming off diving in the Maldives and had an awesome time. I'm also a solo mid 20's traveler and have never done a liveaboard, so I'm not sure how easy it is to mix with others/make friends. Any advice or experience is appreciated!
Edit: Thank you for all of your comments! It sounds like an awesome trip and I’m excited to book a live aboard!
