Manta Queen 6 Liveaboard Review - Expert Guide to Choosing Your Liveaboard

Russell Bowyer here. I've written this Manta Queen 6 Liveaboard review to help you choose the right liveaboard with confidence. As a qualified diving instructor and Advanced BSAC Diver with 500+ dives worldwide, I've helped countless divers pick their perfect liveaboard - whether it's your first time liveaboard or you're an experienced diver seeking your next adventure.

Read more about Russell's diving experience

My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer and diving instructor, I've taught many people to dive and taken a lot of the divers I taught on their first dive. I also used to organise and run dive trips in the UK, with one of my favourites being expeditions to the Farne Islands to dive with the seals. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience, having dived from liveaboards myself and loved it. This is why I came up with the SDE Liveaboard Rating* to help you choose the best liveaboard for you.

*How SDE Liveaboard Rating works for the Manta Queen 6 Liveaboard: 50%

The SDE Liveaboard Rating for the Manta Queen 6 liveaboard works by taking the six individual SDE Liveaboard Rating scores, with each one being scored out of 10 and then adding them together.

SDE Liveaboard Rating – Underwater Photographer Features for the Manta Queen 6 Liveaboard

My score of the Manta Queen 6 liveaboard is 3/5 on the SDE Underwater Photographer Rating, as it has 3 of the 5 key photographer facilities (see below).

The Manta Queen 6 liveaboard offers a separate rinse tank for underwater cameras, which is crucial for protecting expensive camera equipment from scratches and damage. Also a dedicated camera tank avoids any risks that can arise from sharing space with general diving gear, such as regulators, wetsuits, and heavy fins to avoid contamitation from sand, salt, debris and any chemicals.

In addition, it provides dedicated charging stations for cameras, strobes, torches and laptops so your batteries are always topped up and ready for your next dive. What’s more, it has free WiFi internet onboard, which makes it easier to back up RAW files to the cloud and share images with friends and family while you are at sea.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Amazing holiday time. « Fred, do you thing we were professional enough? » I was asked that question by Woody (the trip leader of Manta Queen 6) at the end of this dive trip. Well… I am a professional Master Instructor for 17 years now but this question still gives me pause. This team is aware of the bigger picture, they are able to look at a situation objectively, recognize what is going well or wrong and fix it even in the middle of nowhere in the Andaman Sea. They are good at what they do, they have the knowledge that enable them to do the job well, they won’t just show you what you want to see, they will show you how to find it. Guests don’t realize how this job is exhausting and how painful it can be to work on a boat for weeks with a lack of privacy. But this men and women understood the essence of this job: if you build confidence with client, if you do everything to bring the best comfort and promote safe practice then it can be the best job and the finest experience to share in the world. Anyway, as a simple guest, thanks to all the team for this amazing holyday time onboard of Manta Queen 6.”

Recommended for: Crew service, amazing dives, friendliness.
