As much diving as you can handle in 4 days!
If you love diving, you’ll get more than enough on this trip. Four dives a day, day after day. Really great sites, plenty of live corals (still). The folks that work on this boat are all top notch.

An unforgettable, rich experience
The dives were the absolute top highlights - from biodiversity to variety. The guides were knowledgeable, and really enhanced the experience with solid sharing and familiarity with the dive sites. The food was incredible and the boat crew across the. Board are incredibly helpful. Slight pre-dive rushedness of things was made up for by pace underwater and aboard. Also, the boat was very clean, and spacious.

Wonderful
April coincides with the season of fish breeding, the coral reefs are full of glass fish, the ecology is very good, and the night diving to see sharks hunting is also very amazing

Great diving with lovely crew
We had a really lovely week on board the Manta Queen 1. Admittedly, we were incredibly lucky with the weather and visibility which definitely made this trip one of the best we've been on in Thailand, but it wouldn't have been the same without our amazing dive guide, Monja. We were a group of 2 (plus guide) and she really made the dives incredible. Tailored dive briefings, took an interest in what we wanted to see, very relaxed dives. She made a big effort to help me look for nudibranchs as I'd said I was really interested in finding the smallest of the small! She even had a magnifying glass so I could get a good look. Monja managed our dive profiles really well and made sure we had the longest dives possible within the safety limits. Back on the boat she was really helpful with debriefing and identifying things we'd seen. The trip leader, Peter, was also great and made sure everyone was enjoying the trip throughout. He was available for feedback at all times. The equipment we rented (BCD and regs) was in great condition. All Mares brand, and pretty new! The wetsuits that other people were renting looked to be in good condition too, especially the long wetsuits. The food was great and varied - there was a different choice at every meal and a variety of spiciness. It's amazing what the chef is able to make in such a small kitchen! Housekeeping was also very good - daily cleaning to a good standard. The boat boys were very helpful and friendly, and worked very hard to make sure everyone had an easy time with their kit both before and after dives. Our only small complaint would be that the double bed in the cabin was very small - smaller than a small double. It was about 120cm wide, and the pillows were not very comfy - quite hard and lumpy. New pillows would make a big difference! Also, the sun bed mats on the top deck were more comfy than the mats on the bed which were very firm. Overall a fantastic liveaboard and we'd definitely book again!

Great atmosphere on the boat which combines the requirement of safety and conviviality. Choice of the order of the dive sites according to the currents and the average level of the divers. Smiling and attentive staff. Very nice boat very well maintained.
