Fabulous experience
Time flies by, you think 4 dives a day are a lot, but with such an interesting diving area you can actually always be under water. Even for me with only 18 dives so far. I also did a Nitrox course.Richelieu skirt was gorgeous... huge schools of 😍 fish

Best dive trip in my 26 year history
I've been diving on liveaboards for 26 years, only on the other side of the globe. Our trip with Manta Queen 8 was by far our best trip ever. It was a 1st Class operation . Every comfort was well attended to from dining to comfort on the boat. The crew was always attentive and were incredibly helpful in every way to make our experience shine. We loved our dive guide - Penny. She is very competent, listened to our needs and hopes pre-dive and post dive, was very familiar with the sites, and in pointing out things that we might have missed. Max gave great pre-dive information and excelled managing 23 divers. We really enjoyed the schedule, and his and the team's professionalism in making all aspects of the trip easy for the divers. It was our first experience diving in Asia. Even though the travel there is extensive, we will definitely be back.

One week of blissfulness
It was an enjoyable trip with the crew. Rooms were a little cramped but very clean overall. Variety of food was commendable & my vegetarian diet was taken care of. Dive sites are simple and all about small fish. Overall a happy ending

100% recommend
I was part of a 3 people group guided by Chelsie. What a great guide. Cheerful and very calm and independent under water. Always gave us freedom but never stop worrying about while trying to show us amaizing creatures.
