What to Expect

The Similan Islands and its Whale Sharks! Liveaboard trip in this area is one of the best scuba diving experiences you will find in Thailand. Its huge granite boulders with caverns and arches, lush greenery and white sand beaches ring the nine islands, completing the view from above water. The marine ecology in this area is unparalleled, colourful 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 Tachai and Koh Bon, members of the Similan Island National Park, are visited en-route to Richelieu Rock in the Surin Marine Park, and offer more Pelagics, Napoleon Wrasse and Night Diving for Macro-Critters. Whatever your scuba diving pleasure might be, the Similan and Surin Marine Parks are the dive destinations that will satisfy your desires and give you the trip of a lifetime

Thank you KSA,
First trips of the season.
Pick up was smooth because we read the emails and had contact on whats app. Fabian is spot on with all his communications.
Xavier Trip leader with his team, Tik, Chris, Ann, Monja, Nik.
Had a great trip with my cousin on the manta queen 1 boat for 4 days and 4 nights.
Cannot complain about anything because the value of the trip is outstanding and for sure you get what you pay for. In a few years i will return again.
The dives sites and safety was great, the briefings were fun and informative.
The most famous site Richelieu Rock was outstanding.
Barracuda schools were amazing along with the amount of fish.
Have a great season and see you again. (Sam and Adam)

I booked a 5 days trip an the Manta Queen I. Under every aspect a perfect experience. The organization of the trip was flawless. Monja and her diving team and the boat crew did a terrific job in making this a very special excursion for me. Diving was great, food was amazing and living on the bot was easy. I would give six stars if possible.

It was my first LOB last December and it was an amazing experience. I booked the trip online and I would say the correspondent is very prompt and informative! The transition from pickup to registration at the dive shop and to the boat are well arranged and organized. The boat is really spacious and clean, excellent stay for 4d4n! We are welcome by energetic instructors and friendly Thai crew. All the instructors are really professional with their briefings, especially our trip leader Ismael. He has his way of grabbing our attention for pre-dive briefing to ensure we wouldn’t miss any interesting underwater! Not to forget he takes amazing photos!

I also did my PADI Advance open water during the trip, my instructor Matteo took us for additional dive so we can practice our skills in calmer water. Being a new diver, I have also learnt a lot from other instructors on board. There are always food and snacks after every dive! No wonder its Dive, Eat, Sleep! The Thai crew on board are really helpful with our every dive! Overall a really good trip with KSA that I would recommend!

I have just came back from a 4 day, 4 night live aboard diving adventure to Similan Islands & Richelieu Rock, it was amazing, I had a great time, everything was perfect as far as I was concerned.

We were on the Manta Queen 1, great vessel, lots of space, food great, accommodation basic but good, great dive staff and local staff on the boat.
I went on my own and was a bit sceptical on what it would be like, this was the first dive trip of the season, I thought all the dive staff were very good, you have 4 dives a day, 3 meals a day plus snacks, everything was organised very well and I met some lovely people on board who I will keep in touch with.

If you wish to go on a live aboard, I would definitely recommend this Co without a doubt.
