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

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.

Great trip, would have happily done another week...
Had a fantastic 6 days aboard the Manta Queen 8, took a while to choose the boat but was worth the time taken. The crew and dive guides made a big effort to make the trip an enjoyable experience, and this was helped by the amazing dive sites, the stand out being Richelieu Rock - I don't think I've seen such an abundance of marine life in one area, 3 dives wasn't enough! We were lucky to have Eti as our guide for the week and his ability to find the small stuff was outstanding, if you're a keen micro photographer, he's your man! The whole crew were friendly and helpfull throughout the entire trip, especially with helping kit up and getting in the Ribs, and the Nitrox was always a constant 31-32%. We had a full boat of 24 divers plus 6 guides and this did make the dive deck a bit busy pre and post dive, but this is more to do with peoples awareness of how to not get in other peoples way, the only other niggle was the beds had a plastic cover on the mattress under the sheet, which is fine for hygiene and cleaning, but did make them a bit sweaty. If your thinking about a Liveaboard in Thailand this is one I'd recommend, you'd be hard pushed not to enjoy it, and at no point did we run out of beer....
