Relax your diving trip in Similan
The friendliness of the crew. Really friendly. They always greet me with a smile on my face, which makes me feel good throughout the trip. The food that comes out after diving is also delicious with just the right amount of seasoning. And the important dive guide is FM, and safety is the most important thing in principle. In the case of cabins, there is a separate toilet and the size of the room is appropriate.

Wonderful
April coincides with the season of fish breeding, the coral reefs are full of glass fish, the ecology is very good, and the night diving to see sharks hunting is also very amazing

Great diving with lovely crew
We had a really lovely week on board the Manta Queen 1. Admittedly, we were incredibly lucky with the weather and visibility which definitely made this trip one of the best we've been on in Thailand, but it wouldn't have been the same without our amazing dive guide, Monja. We were a group of 2 (plus guide) and she really made the dives incredible. Tailored dive briefings, took an interest in what we wanted to see, very relaxed dives. She made a big effort to help me look for nudibranchs as I'd said I was really interested in finding the smallest of the small! She even had a magnifying glass so I could get a good look. Monja managed our dive profiles really well and made sure we had the longest dives possible within the safety limits. Back on the boat she was really helpful with debriefing and identifying things we'd seen. The trip leader, Peter, was also great and made sure everyone was enjoying the trip throughout. He was available for feedback at all times. The equipment we rented (BCD and regs) was in great condition. All Mares brand, and pretty new! The wetsuits that other people were renting looked to be in good condition too, especially the long wetsuits. The food was great and varied - there was a different choice at every meal and a variety of spiciness. It's amazing what the chef is able to make in such a small kitchen! Housekeeping was also very good - daily cleaning to a good standard. The boat boys were very helpful and friendly, and worked very hard to make sure everyone had an easy time with their kit both before and after dives. Our only small complaint would be that the double bed in the cabin was very small - smaller than a small double. It was about 120cm wide, and the pillows were not very comfy - quite hard and lumpy. New pillows would make a big difference! Also, the sun bed mats on the top deck were more comfy than the mats on the bed which were very firm. Overall a fantastic liveaboard and we'd definitely book again!

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.

Comfortable, Budget liveaboard with great dives!
The liveaboard was extremely comfortable and clean. The crew was very caring, and the food was exceptional. They have everything you need onboard. We ended up doing 5 dives at Richelieu Rock in one day and skipped the Boon Sung wreck dive due to limited visibility there. I am so glad they took this decision as Richelieu Rock is a phenomenal dive site.

Incredible experience as my first liveaboard
It was my first liveaboard experience, and I was a little nervous at first. However, I quickly realized there was nothing to worry about. The crew was incredibly kind and helpful, and they provided everything you might need, including diving gear, meals, snacks, and even medication. I experienced seasickness for the first time, but it improved quickly after taking the medicine they offered. They even hosted a sunset party on the boat on the last day, which made the trip even more special. If you are planning to visit the Similan

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.... ❤️❤️.

Excellent Similan LOB
Whole LOB was very well organised. Guides and crew took great care of us and we enjoyed the stay and dive experience. Although the room seems small, bags can be placed under the bed so it was just nice and cozy.
