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

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 great tour with a great crew
The Similian Islands and Surin National Park are truly beautiful and offer a variety of dive sites for all types of divers. The two areas offer a very wide variety of fish, corals and rocks as well as different types of diving such as drift dives, wreck diving, etc. The entire crew of the MQ1 and also the instructors are doing a great job. They are approachable at any time (day and night) and for almost any question and have a good conversation for their customers. Professionally absolutely TOP and very well organized, I felt very comfortable and safe under the guidance of Marja. The instructors are very well rehearsed with the boat crew, have a well-communicated schedule for everything and have everything firmly under control from registration to the last hug. The boatboys are very on their toes and always help with putting on and taking off the equipment.

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

Simply amazing
Everything was just perfect, organised, planned and managed before and during the trip in a fantastic way. Almost every dive was in a different location and each of them was with great visibility, spectacular corals and variety of fish. We had lots of fun between the dives, sharing diving and life experiences with the other guests, or simply relaxing on the sundeck. Staff and guides were always super helpful, professional, friendly and full of positive energy. This was my first live aboard but after this super positive experience many more will follow very soon!

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% !!
