Similan
Islands liveaboards. Diving
tours with the White Manta -
a relatively new boat just starting
her second season operating
from Phuket to the Similan and
Surin Islands. The White Manta
has owners in Singapore, and
you can be sure of a high standard
of service, cleanliness and
comfort for a good price. The
White Manta is certainly now
one of the best budget liveaboards
for diving the Similan Islands.

The
on board accommodation is in
twin bunk cabins, with 3 shared
bathrooms. Some cabins actually
have 4 bunks, meaning the boat
can hold over 20 guests, but
will be limited to 16 in twin
cabins to maximise the space
available and make your liveaboard
tour more comfortable. For full
boat charters, you can take
a maximum of 24 divers - contact

The very top of the boat
serves as a large sun deck

giving you plenty of room
to suit up, and photographers
will be happy to see a camera
table.
