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.

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 💗!

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!

- Fantastic dive crew that were well organized, safe, and went above and beyond to ensure every dive was spectacular.. The Thai boat crew that worked hard to make sure we got in and out of the boats safely, filled our tanks, and maintained a fun atmosphere on the dive deck. The kitchen crew that made sure we were always well taken care of with delicious meals, snacks, and warm drinks after every dive.

Brilliant e
It was absolutely amazing being on board of the Manta Queen 3. The food of chef Koy was really good. The dive guides were so nice, friendly and helpful (Woody, Naido, Emmy, Jack). The biggest thank you goes to Bank, he took such good care of us and made the diving absolutely great and at all times i felt safe and taken care of. He helped me with my gear and has a huge knowledge. Thank you Bank! Also generally i have to say that the Briefings by Naido and Woody were so good and thorough, so that when we went down, i felt super ready. Thank you guys! Without the Thai crew it wouldn’t have been the same or as easy to go diving and honestly, their music taste is soooo good and set the mood for the dives haha! (Aek, Non, Tiger, Ter) Last but definitely not least Captain T and Engineer M. brought us to all the spots, day and night. It was super wavy but at all times they made sure we were save and arrived at the right time.

Fantastic Liveaboard
First Liveaboard experience, and this trip really left us wanting more — so many fantastic experiences under and over the sea and many great people. Davy, Viki and Monja were the dive guides, and were extremely nice and professional — we took our adv. open water and Nitrox course with Viki, and we really enjoyed it and learned a lot! Highest recommendations from us!
