Great trip to Banda Sea
I had an incredible time on board! The dive guides were highly experienced and knew the area extremely well, making every dive both safe and exciting. The boat was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. My cabin had plenty of room, and the daily housekeeping made the stay even more enjoyable. The entire crew was incredibly helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The food was great, fresh, varied, and absolutely delicious at every meal. Thanks to the large steel hull, the boat remained stable even in rougher seas, making the journey smooth and comfortable throughout. Between dives, there were plenty of places to relax, whether on the sun deck or in the cozy lounge. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I’d highly recommend to any diver looking for a well-organized and memorable trip!

Good mix of diving
Great diving at remote dive sites but some of the spots can be busy with other boats. Good mix of macro, schooling fish and if you are lucky school of hammerheads

Simply the best boat!!
This was my second trip on Blue Manta. I was on the boat in Komodo and just got back from Raja Ampat. This is the best liveaboard I’ve been on. It’s huge and very stable. The service was unbelievable and everyone from the cruise director to the dive masters and chefs went out of their way to give the best service. The rooms are huge, food was awesome and the diving was incredible. I can’t wait to get back on this boat.

Exceptional boat and diving
This was a great trip! The diving and marine life was spectacular! The boat itself is great - downstairs rooms are slightly old, but beds and pillows are very comfortable and the lounge decks upstairs are superb. The dives are exceptionally well organised with staggering of groups and brilliant dive briefings by Cedric. All the crew help get your dive equipment ready, on and off with amazing efficiency. They even wash and return your suits and boots after every dive! The food was really tasty (could be a bit more choice at lunch for vegetarians) and lots of it. Our dive guide Ecky worked so hard to show us all he could. Another guide, Vickly, played guitar in the evenings :-) All the staff were exceptional and I had a great time! Thank you 🙏🏼
