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.

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

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.

- Dive Deck Crew - They helped me put on and take off my gear after each dive, reducing the stress and physical effort. Their support made me feel well cared for throughout the trip.. Dive Guide - Always went the extra mile to show us special marine creatures, making each dive rewarding. Never rushed the dive and always prioritised safety.. Hospitality Crew - They tidied my bed every day, prepared delicious meals, and served drinks after each dive to keep us well hydrated. Their cheerful announcements at mealtimes made sure we knew when the food was ready..

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.
