Great liveaboard
The liveaboard with the Manta Queen 1 was an unforgettable experience! The route through the northern Andaman Islands – Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock and the Boon Sung Wreck – offers some of the best diving in Thailand. Richelieu Rock in particular impressed with its biodiversity. The crew was consistently friendly, helpful and well organized – you felt in good hands at all times. A real highlight was the food on board: It is hard to believe how such incredibly delicious and varied dishes were conjured up every day in such a small galley.All in all, an absolutely recommendable safari for all diving enthusiasts!

My 1st Live aboard and totally mesmerised by it!
I loved the whole experience. The price is a bit steep but is fair for the excellent service you receive. I totally recommend Khao Lak Scuba Adventures and the Manta Queen 1 boat.

Great easy liveaboard
After your first liveaboard you will be hooked. Manta Queen is no exception and makes it easy. The food and the boatcrew are amazing. Always there to help you with anything you need and always happy and cheerful. The diveguides know the area and spots very well and make you feel safe. 4 dives at Richelieu Rick will make you come back for more ;)
