Manta Queen 8, Таиланд

Great overall trip with professional dive crew

The variety of marine life was unparalleled. Our dive guide, Daniel, was incredible.

These Guys Are Pros!

They may seem like a group of friendly and welcoming scuba guys – and they are! – but underneath that is a very dedicated, organized and highly skilled team of professionals. All of the logistics were handled effortlessly. Dive briefings were clear and comprehensive. Dive groups were small so that guides could keep track of their divers and offer assistance if necessary. Food was great. And the boat crew was tireless and efficient. I was on Manta Queen 8 and Mark was an excellent tour leader. My dive guide Daniel was terrific––great dives, all. And I am confident all of the others were excellent as well. If I come back to Thailand, Khaolak Scuba Adventures is my first stop.

Budget friendly option with some hidden gems

Fun and laid back trip on the Manta Queen 8. Dive sites of good quality but how much you will see and what you will get out of it depends on your dive guide. On our boat there was a mix, some very experienced and excellent at pointing things out, others less so. This is the only reason for giving the diving 3 stars. On some dives, some of the guides seemed unfamiliar with the site or just disinterested. Whilst others were incredibly switched on taking the time to ensure their divers saw the best stuff. Can’t knock the food on the boat tho, it was incredible! During our trip mix of weather and conditions but the team always worked hard to find safe solutions so we could keep diving. Thai crew were also amazing, often going above and beyond. At the end of the trip there is a tip box for the crew, recommend getting cash out for this as you will want to tip for their good service. The boat is dated but I think the affordability of the price fairly reflects this. Dive sites were all of a pretty good quality. Obviously over 19 dives some varied from “meh” to “Amazing!!”. If you are a coral lover heaps to see. Saw a range of marine life over the trip. Were not officially in whale shark on manta season so none saw. Some current and surge, may be tough for beginner divers but nothing obscene. Visibility was also good considering the amount of rain. Recomend staying closer to the dive shop than farther away. The transit is arranged but is a minivan so will pick up others along the way. The further you are away the longer this will probably take.
