Plan this trip with AI →The Manta Queen 5 carries up to 20 guests across 10 twin bunk cabins, each fitted with air conditioning, and served by 3 shared bathrooms. Runs of 5 days and 4 nights depart weekly from Thap Lamu near Khao Lak, threading through the North Andaman's most rewarding dive areas — including the famed Hin Daeng and Hin Muang.
Across roughly 15 dives, you'll explore the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and the legendary Richelieu Rock, cruising through the Similan and Surin National Marine Parks. This is a trip pitched at Advanced Open Water divers with at least 5 logged dives, and Nitrox is available on board for those who want more time beneath the surface.
Between dives, there's plenty of room to unwind, with an open-air dining area and a rooftop sun deck to catch the sea air. A team of 5 dive staff and 6 boat crew keeps everything running so you can focus on the water.

The marine ecology in this northern area is amazing, with colorful schools of fish, coral reefs, and endangered species that welcome divers like the Whale Sharks or Manta Rays. Look out for such photogenic little critters as ghost pipefish, sea moths, frogfish, ribbon eels, and many different nudibranchs. Koh Bon and Koh Tachai, members of the Similan Marine Park, are first visited en route to the farthest and world-famous dive site of Richelieu Rock in the Surin National Marine Park.
