Deep Andaman Queen liveaboard reviews
“…all the things that made this trip wonderful:
The diving (saw a huge Manta! So many fish and great visibility).
The crew (everyone so kind and helpful).
The boat (cabin, sun deck, dive deck – much better than expected).
The communication beforehand (easy and always a quick response)…”

The trip was amazing. No whale sharks but several mantas – what an experience. Thank you for helping me get ready for it. Queen Scuba and the whole crew was absolutely great – highly recommend it. Erin, Australia
