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.

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!

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🙏🏾

Wow! Just incredible
Both the boat staff and dive staff were very nice and accommodating. The chefs kindly cooked me vegan meals and the dive staff were patient and understanding. I did my AOWD and Enriched air (nitrox) and come out of this great experience with another 2 qualifications. Keen to come back next year!

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!

A friendly, safe, and enjoyable sensory boat diving journey
This is my third time diving in the Similan Islands. This is my second time on this boat. I will continue with the same boat, and there will be a third or fourth time. Overall, it feels very professional, giving me a sense of security and enjoyment

- Every day, the four meals of breakfast, lunch, and dinner are full of surprises. The crew guiding the diving staff was very professional. Every employee, every day, every moment, wears a friendly smile and a warm feeling.

It was our first "real" liveaboard experience, and it convinced us that this is the best way to scuba dive.
Even though we didn't see any whale sharks or mantas, the dive sites were amazing, especially Richelieu Rock. The many swim-throughs around the Similan Islands were great fun, and our night dive with a hunting barracuda, a curious shark, and plenty of colorful creatures was fantastic. The schedule, with four dives a day starting at 6:30 am, was a bit demanding, but the organization was excellent and the logistics were efficient. The boat crew and dive leaders were very helpful and friendly, and we had a lot of fun with fellow scuba divers between dives. One thing we would appreciate is more stops on the islands (we only had one island trip). Overall, we definitely recommend this trip to anyone interested in an intensive scuba diving experience in this beautiful part of the world.
