Thailand liveaboard, scuba diving Similan onboard of MV White Manta Phuket

Technical Specification / Schedule 2007-2008

The M/V White Manta was built and launched in October 2002 and every detail was carefully planned with your comfort, safety and enjoyment in mind. M/V White Manta, a 25 m long, 14 passenger motor yacht, offers all guests the opportunity to explore Thailand's beautiful southern islands and Similan national marine park without the crowds accommodated on the larger liveaboard vessels in the area.

White Manta is a wonderful combination of safety and comfort, setting the example for a small, top-quality liveaboard dive boat. The nicely appointed and equipped salon on the upper deck offers areas for relaxation and entertainment. Diving is done in small groups ( max. 5 divers with one dive master ) and is conducted from the large dive deck at the stern, with entries made directly off the spacious platform just a step down from the dive deck. NITROX, DIN adaptor, 15 Liter tank and camera charging station are also available. The large sundeck has plenty of sunshine for sunbathers. It is also definitely a great place to rest and warm up between dives.
