Manta Queen 2 is the best!
Richelieu Rock makes you feel like you’re inside a sea cartoon, like Finding Nemo. There are lots of colorful corals and an incredible abundance of fish. I felt at home thanks to the warm, friendly crew and the amazing food. I highly recommend.

Great small boat for some awesome diving
Manta Queen 2 is a great boat with an even better crew. The entire experience felt completely professional (pick-up, check-in, diving schedules, food, ...) and very well organized, while the crew made the stay really pleasant and friendly. The dives were really good and well selected

Nice diving trip considering weather
The trip was amazing. The crew and the diving manager and guides put all the good vibes and effort considering the weather. On the other hand, there were expenses on the trip that I didnt know about and would have been great to be prepared Overall a really nice experience.

Exceeded expectations
This was our first liveaboard experience. We didn't know what to expect other than what we read in other people's reviews and we have to say it was great! The instructors were experienced, professional and just wonderful people, the crew were amazing AND we got lucky with the weather and all the other travelers on the boat. I think this trip might be the reason we now have to go diving all the time.

Great Vibes and Dives with Woody and Elsa
As a dive instructor myself, I've met many instructors so far and I have used many diving operators while traveling around the world. But the experience I had with the instructors at Manta Queen 2, especially Woody and Elsa, was something that really stood out to me—there was so much to learn and appreciate. Let’s be real: life as a dive instructor isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Over the years, I’ve witnessed many instructors, myself included, burn out or get exhausted, so seeing Woody and Elsa truly enjoying their work was a breath of fresh air. I was honestly impressed by how much they loved what they do—it’s rare and inspiring. Great diving always starts with a clear, concise briefing, and Woody’s briefings were next-level. I used to think I was the king of dive briefings, but Woody’s were on a whole different plane. I’ve always believed that dive instructors need to be entertainers, making sure the guests and students are enjoying themselves, and Woody nailed this perfectly. As a fellow instructor, I couldn’t help but envy him. Even in the short time we spent together, I did my best to observe and absorb everything he did. What I found especially admirable was how Woody didn’t shy away from tasks that senior instructors usually don't do and don't like to do. Whether it was taking charge of a group of divers who needed more care and attention, checking dive sites first personally instead of assigning other young instructors, or doing the "little" tasks like ringing the bell to announce meal times, playing music during surface intervals, or taking photos and sharing them with guests at the end of the trip—Woody truly embodied what it means to lead by example. Honestly, where else would you find a senior instructor like that? I don’t know where I’ll end up working again, but I’ll certainly strive to be more like Woody. A big shout-out to Elsa, too, who guided my wife and me through some amazing dives. While my wife and I have done our fair share of dives and didn’t need much attention, Elsa went above and beyond to ensure our dives were safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. We were seriously impressed with her care and attention. And if there’s such a thing as “luck in diving,” Elsa definitely had it—every dive felt like a fish frenzy, with schools of fish everywhere. This was my first live aboard dive experience, and if Woody and Elsa are involved, I’d definitely come back for more. Can’t wait for the next adventure!
