As much diving as you can handle in 4 days!
If you love diving, you’ll get more than enough on this trip. Four dives a day, day after day. Really great sites, plenty of live corals (still). The folks that work on this boat are all top notch.

A real cruise as we like them
For my first cruise, the 15 dives were all different and very beautiful. Steven my Instructor did my first baptism for night diving in complete safety and confidence, thank you Steven. The experience of sharing the same passion with people from different backgrounds. And above all a dedication, a servitude that the staff gives on board the boat and throughout the cruise. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.... ❤️❤️.

Incredible Diving Trip
My boyfriend and I had an incredible dive trip. This was our first liveaboard trip and we are only open water certified. We took the deep adventure course during this trip, which I would highly recommend to those who are not advanced open water certified. Our dive guide Colin was awesome. He made us feel safe and comfortable and brought us to see the most interesting things at each dive site. After each dive he did a quick debrief with us about which fish we had seen and helped us identify the fish we didn't know. The dives themselves were incredible, with vibrantly colored coral and tons of fish. We enjoyed clownfish, butterfly fish, morrish idols, triggerfish, an octopus, barracuda, puffer fish, nudibranch, moray eels, a sea turtle, a fleeting manta ray and so much more. Although we did not see a whale shark, we were not at all disappointed with the dives on this trip. I would recommend it to anyone.

Great experience!!
I felt well taken care of all around. The whole team was just great!! Everything was taken from you. Unfortunately, it had rained all week with a lot of wind and high waves. However, the dive sites were chosen in such a way that we had very nice dives. The atmosphere was also very good. The abundance of fish was enormous. Tic - our dive guide - gave the impression that he even knows where individual sea creatures are;-). Thanks again to Peter, Monja, Etienne, Naidoo, the kitchen girls, the extraordinary boys and especially Tic. Thank you, you did a great job!!

Great liveaboard
The liveaboard with the Manta Queen 1 was an unforgettable experience! The route through the northern Andaman Islands – Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock and the Boon Sung Wreck – offers some of the best diving in Thailand. Richelieu Rock in particular impressed with its biodiversity. The crew was consistently friendly, helpful and well organized – you felt in good hands at all times. A real highlight was the food on board: It is hard to believe how such incredibly delicious and varied dishes were conjured up every day in such a small galley.All in all, an absolutely recommendable safari for all diving enthusiasts!
