With a maximum of 14 customers on every trip, guests will feel well looked after by the professional and experienced crew. White Manta departs from Tap Lamu peir, to the north of Phuket, from where it cruises out to Thailand's best dive sites including the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock.
