MV Manta Queen 2

MV Manta Queen 2 is always among our most popular boats, and all our MQ2 guests come back with big smiles on their faces. This 25-metre diving safari boat can take up to 20 guests in air-conditioned comfort. Although most of Manta Queen 2’s guests are experienced divers, inexperienced divers & those learning to dive can also join these 3-day 11-dive cruises to Thailand’s very best dive sites.

Most Thailand diving safaris are 4 days in length and first sail to the Similan Islands, then move north to Koh Bon, Koh Tachai & Richelieu Rock. But Manta Queen 2 goes directly to these ‘northern sites’ to give the maximum time underwater at the best dive spots in Thailand. Each trip starts at Koh Bon, famous for Manta Rays, then sails up to Koh Tachai, with its wonderful marine life & reef. Finally, divers get plenty of time at Richelieu Rock, which is regarded as the best dive site in Thailand. On the final day, Manta Queen 2 stops off again at Koh Bon, then a local wreck before returning to the pier.

Manta Queen 2 has a wide range of cabins, all of which are air conditioned, clean and comfortable. There are three double-bed cabins for couples, five twin-bed cabins if you want a bed to yourself but not share with too many others, and a four-bunk shared cabin for those who want the lowest-price Richelieu Rock diving experience. The four-bunk cabin is also great  for a family or group of friends.

Great food is served buffet style throughout the day, and there are snacks and fruits, as well as tea, coffee & drinking water all for free. The dive staff & boat crew take great care of the guests, with regards to safety, advice, diving, dive gear, food, and lots of sociable fun. Manta Queen 2 really is the ideal diving boat for divers with some experience who want to enjoy the best diving in Thailand without spending more time or money than necessary. Free local transfers are also included. And new for 2018-19 MQ2 has Free Wi-Fi. However, this is dependent on the cellular signal, and due to MQ2's itinerary to remote locations the signal is not available all the time.
