Manta Queen 2

Manta Queen 2

3 days/3 Nights From THB 20,000

Straight To The Very Best Scuba Diving Sites In Thailand

Manta Queen 2 runs a great little 3 day/3 Night trip that takes you to the very best dive sites that Thailand has to offer. The liveaboard will head straight up to Koh Bon and complete the rest of your diving around Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock, giving you the best chance of an encounter with a giant manta or if you’re really lucky a whale shark…

This comfortable boat offers no thrills but the fun and professional crew offer a great value for money experience. The 4 bed cabins are great for families and groups. The remaining cabins are twin or double share and all cabins are air-conditioned.

The sundeck is a good size and a popular place to hang out. The air-conditioned saloon is somewhat smaller but cushion’s cover the floor so just flop down to cool off in Thailand’s tropical climate.

A great option if you want to get the most out of a short trip without breaking the bank.

Lots of different settings for your dive computers Scuba Diving For Beginners

Dive Computer Settings

Getting your dive computer settings right may sound obvious but on a few occasions we've had to stop guests from diving. We really, really don't like to do this but if during or after a dive your dive computer goes into error mode then we have no choice. It's simply not safe. On most of the rare occasions that this has happened, it's a simple matter of guests having their dive computer set up incorrectly. We often get asked by guests to h [...]

Diving WIth Alien In Phuket Rare & Peculiar Critters

Diving With Aliens

Ridley Scott's alien monster has had people hiding behind the couch for over 30 years. In Phuket we scuba dive everyday with an animal that has the same fearsome set of double jaws. Luckily the penchant for snacking on humans isn't also emulated. All bony fish have a set of pharyngeal teeth in their throat but moray eels have a complete pharyngeal second jaw that they can launch forward and use to swallow their unfortunate victims.

We all have to follow the same basic standards as set by the WRSTC (World Recreational Scuba Training Coun [...]
