An unforgettable, rich experience
The dives were the absolute top highlights - from biodiversity to variety. The guides were knowledgeable, and really enhanced the experience with solid sharing and familiarity with the dive sites. The food was incredible and the boat crew across the. Board are incredibly helpful. Slight pre-dive rushedness of things was made up for by pace underwater and aboard. Also, the boat was very clean, and spacious.

Great for snorkelers and new divers.
My wife and I hadn't been diving in several years. We took a pool refresher and after our first dive were back in the comfort zone. Friends with us only snorkeled and we all had a wonderful time.

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.

Wonderful experience
We had a lovely time on the Manta Queen 1. The boat staff was just amazing, very cautious of our well-being. Helping us with our diving equipment, giving us some refreshing drinks just after the dives and special mention to the cook who was acting as a loving grandma with delicious meals. Also, a big thanks to Max, Fabien and Elsa for their diving advice and their helpfulness. We had a great time with them completing our Advanced Course. I recommend it a 100% !!

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.... ❤️❤️.

Fantastic value for money with spectacular diving, I highly recommend Manta Queen liveaboards.
The diving is spectacular, particularly Richelieu Rock & Koh Bon. The days are well structured so you can just enjoy the dives, eat well as soon as you are back on the boat, and then relax before the next dive. The food is excellent with lots of choices to cater for all tastes. Snacks and drinks are available all day which is convenient. The boat is very comfortable - cabins are well air conditioned when you need a break from the sunshine. The boat crew are extremely helpful and friendly and made us all feel very welcome. The dive instructors shared many interesting details about the dive sites and what to look for on the reef. I learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
