If you haven’t done a liveaboard, this should be your first.
The sites were incredible and well selected. The interval between each dive and the whole trip in general was organised very well.

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.

These Guys Are Pros!
They may seem like a group of friendly and welcoming scuba guys – and they are! – but underneath that is a very dedicated, organized and highly skilled team of professionals. All of the logistics were handled effortlessly. Dive briefings were clear and comprehensive. Dive groups were small so that guides could keep track of their divers and offer assistance if necessary. Food was great. And the boat crew was tireless and efficient. I was on Manta Queen 8 and Mark was an excellent tour leader. My dive guide Daniel was terrific––great dives, all. And I am confident all of the others were excellent as well. If I come back to Thailand, Khaolak Scuba Adventures is my first stop.
