Black Manta - Thailand Scuba - Phuket Liveaboard Cruises
The 9 highly experienced crew take great pride in exceptional service whilst always maintaining safety. With 9 comfortable en-suite cabins (plus one standard twin), an extensive dive deck, huge lounge plus full safety equipment, this vessel is truly state of the art and we predict this boat will get very popular with our guests for its mid range priced trips with that little extra. An ice maker has just been installed to ensure you drinks are always cold, and warm towels will be given to you after every dive. Black Manta even has internet access and a massage service!
 

Cabins: There is one Master cabin which has an ensuite bathroom and is much larger than the other cabins. There is a double bed and also a twin bunk, so it can be booked by families or by 4 divers, or just as a double cabin. There are 8 double/twin en suite deluxe cabins plus 1 standard twin cabin with shared bathroom. The second standard cabin can be used for guests on charters or maybe used as a divemaster cabin.
