The Manta Queen 6 is a 25-meter wooden-hulled liveaboard, offering 6 air-conditioned twin cabins for 12 guests. The boat is staffed by a team of 4 dive professionals and 6 crew members, ensuring smooth sailing and expert guidance throughout the journey. Guests are provided with towels, toiletries, and basic dive gear, including tanks, weights, and even torches for night dives.

Guests can relax on deck or enjoy freshly prepared meals served buffet-style by the onboard chef, featuring a mix of Thai and Western dishes, as well as vegetarian and allergy-conscious options. Between dives, snacks and fruits are offered, and a dinghy is available to explore nearby beaches. Onboard Wi-Fi (when in range), hot drinks, and the option for Nitrox or SSI courses, including Advanced Open Water and Deep Specialty, round out the experience for divers seeking more than just leisure.

The 4-day, 5-night itinerary includes 15 spectacular dives at Thailand’s most iconic dive spots: Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock, and the Boonsung Wreck. Highlights include dramatic boulder formations at Elephant Head Rock, soft coral gardens at Anita’s Reef, and the pelagic-rich waters of Richelieu Rock.

Fun People, Delicious Food, and Easy Dive
They pick you up from airport with min shuttle charges, fun people to be with, easy dives, and food is very delicious. I am a vegetarian and they take care of me. Dive sites are quite good.Though we did not see whalesharks, on average, it is good.

Interesting liveaboard but some disappointing sites
Richelieu's Rock without a doubt for the dives, the little trip to the beach on the 1st day and the quality of the food prepared by an outstanding Thai cook with a contagious good mood

Fantastic Trip
Manta Queen 6 provides a great trip to some very interesting dive sites. The boat itself is a little ratty, but for the price point, it works just fine! The food onboard was some of the best I have experienced on a liveaboard, and Damien (the dive leader) was professional and helpful. A wonderful time was had by all!
