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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Stay at the top!
Superb diving trip! The crew is of a rare kindness and very professional. We loved the excursions to the beaches of the Similans and the BBQ party on the upper deck. Everything was perfect, thank you for these memories!

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.
