This trip set the bar and I will be coming back!
This was my first liveaboard experience and it definitely set the bar! Both the boat crew (Capt. Tan, Meaw, Chef Kay, Aek, Lod, Ong, Non, Ter) and diving crew (Lolo, Matt, Troy, Jack, Woody, Noah) were very friendly and professional. We performed a total of 19 dives over the trip and each one got better and better. My dive guide, Matt, was very attentive and made sure I got the shots I needed with my camera! Woody gave great briefings, as well as the rest of the guides. The food was fantastic

Just amazing
I had an amazing week aboard Manta Queen 3! A huge shout-out to the incredible dive guides Ken, Bert, Troy, Bank, Jack, and Woody. They all put so much effort into making sure everyone felt comfortable at all times. They truly do everything they can to make guests happy, and they are just incredibly kind and welcoming people. I also really loved how they spent time with the guests and created such a fun and relaxed atmosphere throughout the trip. The Thai crew also deserves a massive thank you — they were always there with helping hands, supporting us with absolutely everything. They made even the less popular parts of diving, like the prep and the cleanup, as easy and smooth as possible. A heartfelt thank you to all of you for this unforgettable week!

Top liveaboard suitable for all levels of diving
The tour was really very nice, the entire crew was always in a good mood, very helpful and motivated. There is nothing I can fault about this trip.The beach trips during the breaks were also super cool, we were taken to the beach by speedboats and then had an hour to explore the islands or go swimming.

All-round perfect diving trip where nothing is missing.
The trip was a complete success. The planning was very good and made sure that it would be a relaxed stay on the dive boat. We really didn't miss anything. The crew was very friendly and accommodating. The food was very good and they even made sure that we ate vegan. We borrowed all the equipment and there was nothing to complain about. At first I had a small problem with the regulator but that was immediately fixed by the crew. The dive guides were also very knowledgeable and we felt safe at all times. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

Happy and safe Manta Queen 3 diving trip
It was one of an amazing trip. Coz all the DMs and boat staffs are super nice and helpful. And I felt so safe when dive with them coz they hv very details briefing before every dive. Aft every dives, we will have a small elevation about how’s the dive just now and what we saw just now. Also my DM was so nice to find some special fishes, coral, reef and special under sea landscape for us to see. The most important thing that what I so impressed is they are very strict when under the water, maybe someone will feel no good in this way. But since they are very strict they can help to protect the marine living and make me feel safe to dive with them. Really thank you to hv them and make a nice and smooth diving for us🙏🏾

One of a kind trip on the Manta Queen 3 and its crew
We had a very nice trip on the Manta Queen3. The boat and its crew are amazing. The food was diverse and very well prepared and we had constant support and help before and after the dives. The dive leaders and guides have complete knowledge of the dive sites and the biodiversity we encountered and were eager to share this with us. Overall it was an amazing experience.
