Manta Queen One liveaboard

Abundant marine life

Life underwater is just awesome. You can see big schools of barracudas, trevallies, sweetlips, snappers, emperors, fusiliers, batfish, butterflyfish, damselfish, surgeonfish, and rabbitfish but also big fish like the Napoleon wrasse, bump head parrotfish, giant groupers and triggerfish and there are good chances to meet turtles, stingrays, sharks, the giant manta rays or whale sharks!

Small marine life

Not to forget the beautiful tiny creatures like nudibranchs, shrimps, crabs, seahorses, boxfishes, anglerfishes, pipefishes, ribbon eels and so much more! There is plenty of space on this Similan liveaboard to enjoy the time between the dives:

Relax between the dives

There is the large sun deck to snooze away in a hammock or get tanned (don’t forget plenty of sun protection!). The sheltered lounge with HD-TV where you can watch the videos which are made during the dives. The open dining area to relax in the shadows, maybe searching in a fish guide book for the new and unknown friends you made during your dives.

Similan islands beaches

The dingy gives us the opportunity to spend some time on the beautiful white sand beaches at the Similan Islands (now only Similan Island beaches are open for visiting!), for playing a game of football or volleyball. It’s also possible to climb up to some of the most stunning viewpoints. Imagine yourself sitting having a scenic view and watching the sky exploding in the most beautiful sunset!
