Unforgettable liveaboard experience on MQ3!
My time on this liveaboard was incredible. Everything was perfectly organized, and both the diving and the life on board exceeded all my expectations. The equipment provided was high-quality, well-maintained, and the boat crew took care of absolutely everything: helping with entering and exiting the water, setting up and removing equipment and always being there with a smile 💕. The cabins were clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned, making the stay even more relaxing. A big thank you as well to the entire housekeeping team for keeping everything consistently clean, tidy, and comfortable throughout the whole trip. We were spoiled with delicious food around the clock – several warm buffet-style meals a day, plenty of snacks and even ice cream. A special shout-out goes to the kitchen staff, who worked tirelessly to make this smooth and enjoyable experience possible. Between dives, there was never a boring moment. There are lots of cozy places to relax or also to find privacy if you want. MQ3 has truly the perfect setup for comfort and entertainment. The dive sites were spectacular, with highlights like Koh Bon and Richelieu Rock, offering an incredible variety of marine life – from schooling fish and vibrant reefs to breathtaking macro sightings. Diving with our guide Noah was fantastic. I always felt very comfortable diving with him. He did everything to make sure we felt safe at all times underwater and had a great eye for spotting marine life. The group itself was a wonderful mix of ages and nationalities, creating a warm, friendly, and fun atmosphere where everyone connected and shared experiences. In short: a beautifully organized, welcoming, and absolutely unforgettable liveaboard adventure. I can recommend it 100%, and I would return in a heartbeat 💗!

One of the best-organized dive cruises
One of the best-organized dive cruises we've ever done. The staff is always attentive and incredibly friendly. Our guide, Patricia, was fantastic. The boat is large and comfortable. The cabins are small but adequate.

Incredible liveboard trip with fun, knowledgable staff that will go above and beyond for you!
This was my first liveaboard, and the Manta Queen 3 team certainly set the bar high! They just made it so easy: from the complimentary hotel transfers to and from Phuket, guiding us through some incredible dive sites, and ensuring we were all happy and well-fed back on the boat. All the staff went above and beyond every day to ensure we all had the best experience possible. I wouldn't think twice about booking another trip with the Manta Queen 3!

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!

Unforgettable liveaboard with the Manta Queen 3
Our time on the Manta Queen 3 was just fantastic! The crew (Tul, Koi, Ong, Lod, Maeo, Suea, Ted, Nont, Aek) and the guides (Adri, Jack, Troy, Sergi and Noah) were super warm, professional and always in a good mood. You felt welcome from the first moment.We were allowed to explore the underwater world with Adrian (Adri) as a dive guide. An experience we will not forget. His passion for diving is immediately noticeable. With a lot of calm, patience and enthusiasm, he showed us the fascinating diversity of the sea. Thanks to his trained eyes, we discovered numerous small and large sea creatures that would certainly have remained hidden from us on our own. Adrian's relaxed composure makes every tour pleasant, at the same time he always conveys a high degree of security. We felt completely comfortable and well looked after with him and recommend him without reservation.The dives were fantastically beautiful, with impressive underwater world, great visibility and perfectly organized procedures.The cabin boys have also enriched our diving experience. With their friendly nature and helpfulness, they always ensured a good atmosphere and supported us in everything. Whether preparing the equipment or getting in and out of the boat. They were always attentive and reliable. Their humor and positive energy made every trip even more beautiful.We were also spoiled with culinary delights: Every day there was delicious, varied food, which was prepared with a lot of love.A big praise also goes to the housemaids, who always cared for our rooms with a lot of care and attention. In addition, we were always warmly supplied with drinks by them after the dives. A service that made our stay even more enjoyable.An all-round successful experience that we can warmly recommend to every diving enthusiast.Our highlights were the dives at the dive site at Richelieu Rock. It was just a fantastic dive site.

Outstanding Hospitality and Incredible Dives
My dive experience was truly exceptional. Each dive briefing was informative and educational, with guides sharing details about the dive sites, the marine life we might encounter, and important safety tips. Every dive revealed something special, and the guides paid attention to even the smallest details, such as helping us remove our fins after dives, a level of service I have never experienced before. The boat may not have been the newest, but the hospitality was outstanding. The crew made my bed and prepared well-cooked meals, and the boat even provided seasickness tablets and common medication needed during a liveaboard. The dive deck crew took care of all my dive preparations, allowing me to relax and feel completely looked after while putting on and taking off my gear, truly making the experience effortless. The captain kept the boat perfectly positioned, so we didn’t lose any time moving between dive sites. If I were to suggest one improvement, it would be to install a PA system or microphone onboard so briefings can be heard more clearly, particularly when the boat is underway.
