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.

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.

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.

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% !!
