Manta Queen 7 accommodates up to 24 guests in 11 air-conditioned cabins for diving trips in Thailand’s Andaman Sea.

Between dives, guests can relax on the spacious sun deck or enjoy freshly prepared buffet meals in the open-air dining area, and there is a TV in the saloon. Tender trips ashore provide opportunities to explore the white-sand beaches of the Similan Islands.

Manta Queen 7 offers 5-day, 4-night itineraries with 15 dives, visiting the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock, and Boonsung Wreck. Experienced dive guides lead excursions to sites such as Elephant Head Rock, known for its dramatic underwater rock formations. Other highlights include opportunities to spot manta rays at Koh Bon and Koh Tachai and whale sharks at Richelieu Rock.

Wonderful
Given the price the boat is obviously not luxurious but it is comfortable and well maintained; the beds suite their purpose - anyway, the priority is diving and the liveaboard experience not the few hours spent in the cabin to sleep. Food was really good, I.e. much better than what can be expected on such a boat with the limited cooking means. Crew was simply wonderful. And the dive sites, well, that you probably already know if you are reading this 😉

Outstanding liveaboard - exceeded my expectations!
From start to finish, this company does it right. From the time they pick you up at your hotel in a nice air conditioned van, to the check in at the office, to the experience on the boat, and finally the departure, this company exceeds expectations at every step. The trip leader (J) and the rest of the crew are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. They work extremely hard to make sure that every step of your experience goes above and beyond. They create a really fun atmosphere on the boat, including musical entertainment. The food is outstanding on Manta Queen 7, and at the end of the day, the dive guides sit with their group to go through the dives, and talk about all the stuff/fishes/species you just saw. It is really informative and very entertaining. The trip leader is outstanding and really helps make this boat worth every penny. I have taken other liveaboards in Thailand, and this company is the best. You will not be disappointed.

Fun diving the Similans
A fantastic first live aboard experience. Very friendly and helpful staff and dive guides. Food was tasty and plentiful. Diving sites were beautiful, such a great diversity and abundance of fish. I lost my camera on just the 2nd dive, so my dive guide Penny used her go pro to capture video for me on later dives which I really appreciated!

Great Overall Experience
Starting with the pickup, it was well coordinated and timely pickup by the team. Once we reached, we had to complete few formalities and check our dive equipment if we take on rent, which i did. I must say, the diving equipment was well maintained and cleaned before every trip. We had some time after it, which we could use to buy any essentials if we forgot and grab some food. In the evening, the entire team was transferred to the vessel followed by safety briefing and cabin allocation. Though the cabin feels too small, but it doesn't matter since most of the time is spend either diving, eating or relaxing on the deck. The next 4 days were literally, EAT-SLEEP-DIVE-REPEAT. 4 dives were scheduled on all the days, except the last day. Before every dive, we had a briefing on how the conditions will be, what will we experience during the dive, and the dive groups. Each group had four divers and a dive instructor. It was good that the groups are divided according to the groups experience and air consumption so that everyone's dive time was maximized. All in all a good overall experience for which all the credits goes to the dive instructors and the Thai crew.

Great dives with great people
I had a very good time on their liveaboard trip. The dive guides and staff really care about us and make sure we have a great time. Ms Lin, who is the lead guide, is very knowledgable about the area and kind enough to share with us the footage she’s taken during the dives. Food on board is also great. We were fed well with 3 meals and 1 snack a day with tasty Thai/Asian food. Would recommend.

LiveAboard at Manta Queen 7 is worth repeating !
For me this was an amazing boattrip. Not only all the diving trips, which became nicer and nicer after every dive, but also all the food, starting with breakfast,food between the dives and the dinner were every day healthy and delicious. Coffee and water you can drink the whole day. The crew who helped us with everything about diving, were very helpful and friendly. Then last, but not least the diving instructors were all very competent and friendly people with a lot of knowledge about the underwater life. The cooks, the diving crew, the captain and the diving instructors worked all together as a great team. And I enjoyed the company of all the diving tourists who came from everywhere. Everyone has their own story. Everyday I became to know them better and better, including the cooks, the diving crew and the instructors. Fortunately I still have contact with some of them.

Great liveaboard experience - gladly again
The liveaboard was organized very professionally by the local operator. The pick-up service from the hotel in Phuket worked very well. The rental equipment is in good condition. On the boat: relaxed atmosphere, motivated crew, food tip-top. Dive sites: it was planned from day to day (usually 4 dives per day). Summary: very worthwhile, great value for money, many great dives.
