Fantastic - the boat is a 'lesser evil'
The Manta Queen 5 is a smaller liveaboard boat than it appears, but it guarantees the minimum necessary. The cabins are really tiny (like on a small sailboat) and the noise of the engines at night is infenal, even with the boat stopped (which seemed to me an unnecessary absurdity).However, the dive sites and the professionalism and friendliness of the instructors and staff in general make up for it well!An unforgettable experience and to repeat (in Manta Queen 8)...

A leisurely and relaxing journey
Thanks to Davy for the careful explanation of the itinerary and the kind Chinese translation of Doris, we were able to relax and enjoy our first liveaboard. The room is small and has to share a bathroom, but everyone is sharing the space and the sun deck to watch the starry sky and the sea breeze. Thank you Manta Queen 5 for giving me such a happy dive trip.

Best staff!!
Amazing experience with the world’s best staff! We were not the ‘typical’ liveaboard customers and the Manta Queen 5 team went above and beyond for our family! We brought our recently certified 10 and 12 year old boys on the trip- which seemed like a first for most everyone involved. We had our kids do 7 and 8 of the 11 dives based on how they were feeling and which dives they just weren’t certified to dive as junior divers . At first I assumed I would only dive with my kids (nervous mama) but after the first dive with their private guide Charlie- we let them go diving while we got more depth on the sites. Also- unexpected but a great help was multiple other dive guides all played card games and chatted with the boys between dives. The Manta Queen 5 gave the perfect length itinerary for our boys first liveaboard and still got me to the sites I wanted to dive coming from half way around the world to do. All of the support staff was amazing as well- especially the cook Ling and the dingy driver Ming. The boat itself was basic accommodation but comfortable for a short dive trip- we are all out there for the experience and the diving and this boat provided what we wanted with a budget when paying for 4 guests. I’d dive this boat again over a fancy boat with more guests any day.
