[4K] What YOU Can See Diving on the Manta Queen 1 Thailand Liveaboard - December 2021

These are some highlights from my recent dive trip onboard the Manta Queen 1 liveaboard to the Similan Islands, Thailand. Trip was from December 2 - 7, 2021. We had 16 guests onboard and 5 dive guides along with the local crew. Everything was excellent. Cabins had good AC and fans, guides were great at pointing out things to see, the crew took care of all the work, the captain made good decisions to allow us to dive best sites safely, and a special shoutout for food which was FAR better than any liveaboard I’ve had. Every meal truly delicious, and not just because we were on a boat. I’d been thrilled to have it anywhere.
Dive sites include Similan Islands, Elephant Head Rock, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, and of course, Richelieu Rock, among others.
Video includes schools of barracuda, emperor snappers changing color while feeding, mantis shrimp, sea snake, napoleon wrasse, seahorse, filefish, cuttlefish, octopus, nudibranchs, and much more.
All footage taken with GoPro Hero 9 Black and some footage used the Backscatter +15 MacroMate Mini Underwater Macro Lens and Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 Underwater Video Lights. This was my first trip with the lens and lights, and it has taken some time to figure out what shots I can do best with it. But overall, I’m happy with what I was able to capture as it’s been an improvement from my last trip and I know I’ll continue improving with more and more dives. I also absolutely loved the diving 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
