Dive Equipment & Setup
Dive Area & Sites
Thailand's Andaman Sea offers a spectacular underwater landscape, from the iconic Similan Islands with their dramatic granite boulders and vibrant soft coral gardens to the pelagic-rich waters of Richelieu Rock. Divers can anticipate encounters with majestic whale sharks and graceful manta rays, alongside leopard sharks, reef sharks, and an incredible diversity of macro life. Visibility is generally excellent, and water temperatures are comfortably warm, making for enjoyable dives. The Manta Queen 6 focuses its 4-day, 5-night itineraries on these premier sites, including Koh Bon, famous for its manta ray cleaning stations, and Koh Tachai, known for its strong currents and schooling fish. Richelieu Rock is a highlight, a horseshoe-shaped pinnacle teeming with marine life, from tiny seahorses to large pelagics. The Boonsung Wreck provides an artificial reef bustling with fish. The vessel's dive professionals ensure groups are matched by experience, enhancing both safety and the quality of the dive experience.

Insurance Recommendation
We strongly recommend all guests to purchase comprehensive dive accident insurance and trip cancellation insurance before departure. Dive accident insurance covers medical treatment, hyperbaric chamber costs, and emergency evacuation in the event of a diving incident. Trip cancellation insurance protects your financial investment — not only if you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to personal illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, but also if the trip is postponed or cancelled by the operator due to severe weather, technical issues, or other operational reasons. In the unlikely event of operator insolvency, cancellation insurance can also help recover your payments. Please ensure your policies are valid for the entire duration of your trip and cover the planned activities.
Medical Form Required
A valid dive medical certificate is required for all guests on this vessel. The medical form must be signed by a licensed physician and confirm fitness for diving. Please upload your medical certificate when managing your booking.
