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.

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% !!

All the staff from the Thai boat boys to the dive staff were friendly, helpful and clearly loved their jobs. The marine life was abundant and breathtaking, especially at the boonsung wreck. The food was plentiful and delicious and I never went hungry

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!!

My 1st Live aboard and totally mesmerised by it!
I loved the whole experience. The price is a bit steep but is fair for the excellent service you receive. I totally recommend Khao Lak Scuba Adventures and the Manta Queen 1 boat.

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!
