Great diving and a great atmosphere
Bumping into 3 guitarfish just lying next to us. Seeing a huge marble ray glide past us. Encountering two octopuses and seven cuttlefish. Seeing three sharks on one dive. Eating the green curry sauce every day. Meeting nice people from all over the world.

- 1 My group's dive guide, Xavier, was the perfect combination of professionalism and fun. He also managed to find the smallest sea creatures in conditions of extremely poor visibility. 2 We visited some great diving sites and saw lots of fantastic creatures. 3 The atmosphere on board, among the guests and crew, was always jovial.

Memorable first liveaboard experience diving in the Similan Islands
In this diving trip I was able to get Advanced Open Water and Nitrox and take advantage of these certifications and use it towards the dives. The diving instructor, Noon, was very friendly and was around to answer questions about the things we were learning. The boat crew was very helpful always being on time with the meals and also helping us put on our diving gear every time. The cabins were simple but bed was clean and the size was appropriate. I would recommend this diving team and the Manta 5 for all my friends. The Similans were beautiful to explore in the beach and under!

good, well organised budget liveaboard
The pre-breakfast dive at Elephant Head Rock was superlative and particularly memorable. This was an excellent liveaboard trip - my fourth at the Similans - and good value for including 11 dives over 3 days/3nights. The food was plentiful and good, with tasty snacks continually appearing outside of meal times. The boat boys were efficient - and necessary - in safely getting us in and out of the water. Dive staff/instructors were friendly, organised and professional. Kh. Noon was a great and lovely group leader. The boat was perhaps not big enough to comfortably host 22 guests but the space was well managed and it is only this packing efficiency that allows such a reasonable tour price of course...

A diver's dream
The experience on the Manta Queen 5 was simply fantastic! From start to finish, everything was just right. The Manta Queen 5 route takes you to some of the best dive sites the Andaman Sea has to offer. Each dive was perfectly organized and offered us unique insights into a breathtaking underwater world. The crew was fantastic, every single one of them contributed to making us feel completely comfortable and safe.
