Awesome week
A great week aboard a recent boat and with all the essentials to feel at home. Very professional and caring crew. The only downside is the last 2 dives of the trip, more mainstream and close to Sorong, surprising for this type of trip

Great diving boat on a wonderful itinerary
Manta Blue is a very spacious and comfortable boat, very stable at sea. I would recommend it to anyone who can be subject to sea sickness. We had a wonderful diving experience thanks to the efficiency and kindness of the crew. The food was great, particularly for breakfast and lunches. As a cruise director, Cedric was exceptional. His briefing were very detailed and insightful and he shared his immense knowledge of the region.

Unforgettable Dives and Impeccable Service on the Blue Manta
Returning to the Blue Manta for a second dive trip felt like coming home. The crew’s professionalism and thoughtfulness shone through in every interaction, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was comfortable and well-managed. From the start, the familiar melody that greeted us each morning set an uplifting tone for the day, preparing us for the wonderful dives ahead. The diving experiences were, as always, absolutely incredible. Each dive offered a unique encounter with stunning underwater vistas and vibrant marine life, all made more profound by the crew's unwavering respect for the ocean. A particularly heartwarming highlight was celebrating a fellow diver's birthday—where a few dive masters, showcased their musical talents, transforming into a live band that brought warmth and joy to everyone aboard. Additionally, the BBQ night was not just delicious but also a fun and engaging event, enhancing the sense of community and enjoyment that defines the Blue Manta experience. These elements combined—the comforting routine, the expert and caring service, the spectacular dives, and the special celebrations—crafted an unforgettable journey that deepened my connection to this exceptional liveaboard. Inspired by these experiences, I am already planning my next trip aboard the Blue Manta.

Unforgettable liveaboard in beautiful locations with a great ship and an excellent team on board, both in terms of diving care and service on the ship.
Many rare marine animals, e.g. electric flame clam or disco mussel, seahorses, flatworms, frogfish, leaf fish, ghost pipefish, etc. Some of them have beautiful corals, including numerous gorgonians such as giant gorgonians, knotted sea fans, broom gorgonians and others.
