Manta Queen 7 accommodates up to 24 guests in 11 air-conditioned cabins for diving trips in Thailand’s Andaman Sea. Each cabin is air‑conditioned, and most feature en‑suite bathrooms for added comfort. For those seeking a more budget‑friendly option, we also offer non‑ensuite cabins paired with well‑maintained shared facilities that are convenient, practical, and comfortable.

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.

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.

I can’t wait to do it again!
I felt that I was in good hands diving to 30m under, my instructor/guide was excellent and I always felt safe enough to enjoy all that the dives had to offer. The crew was extremely helpful, always a strong arm or two or three to assure I got onto the dinghies safely with all that heavy gear, and always a warm cup of tea waiting after each dive. And the food was plentiful and high quality. I couldn’t have asked for more. I can’t wait to do it again!

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.

Excellent Trip- Worth the experience
We loved the diving, crew, the divemasters and the service. The dive sites are beautiful. We went diving in some of the most amazing and healthy coral reefs we had ever seen. The cabins could be more comfortable and so could the eating area, however the food and service was great. I do wish and recommend the boat reduce its use of one-use plastics. They are talking about conservation but not applying it in their own company.

Good diving on a budget
Overall it was a good liveaboard experience. The boat itself is a bit basic/rustic with loads of people on it - but you spend the majority of the time either diving or preparing for it, so it worked out ok. The dive guide (Margo) was extremely friendly and managed the group well, always actively looking for stuff underwater and watching over the group. Overall it was great value for money.
