Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Fantastic value for money with spectacular diving, I highly recommend Manta Queen liveaboards. The diving is spectacular, particularly Richelieu Rock & Koh Bon. The days are well structured so you can just enjoy the dives, eat well as soon as you are back on the boat, and then relax before the next dive. The food is excellent with lots of choices to cater for all tastes. Snacks and drinks are available all day which is convenient. The boat is very comfortable - cabins are well air conditioned when you need a break from the sunshine. The boat crew are extremely helpful and friendly and made us all feel very welcome. The dive instructors shared many interesting details about the dive sites and what to look for on the reef. I learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the trip.”
Recommended for: Crew & dive instructors were friendly, helpful & knowledgeable about the dives.. Rooms were very comfortable.. Good value for money..
