Incredible trip
Had an amazing trip aboard Blue Manta in Komodo. Everything about this liveaboard is amazing from the size of the rooms to the crew and the quality of the food. Outstanding service and the rooms are so much larger and more luxurious than other boats. Amazing DMs who know the sites and terrain very well. Can’t wait to go back.

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.

Spectacular Diving with a Boat and Crew to Match
Diving in Raja Ampat was just awesome. Manta Rays are astounding. Good dive guides, great facilities. Camera Room is best I have ever experienced - I have dove all over the world, over a 1000 dives, this Camera room is like one someone would have on land versus on a boat. Rooms great, temperature control was amazing. Showers on the back of the boat - all 5 - what a pleasure. Oh - and I was worried about USA style power receptacles - the place is littered with them, European, US, very nice. Camera room had huge amount of Power strips to accommodate everyone. I have a big setup that has lots of things that need charging (Nikon D3X, Subal, Sea and Sea Strobes, Light and Motion Floods) and Laptop too. All fit great!! Rinse tanks too, and compressed air for drying! Travel to and from airport was easy and well organized. No waiting, just helpful folks moving luggage and people in A/C comfort. First class. Also - I love non-sugared Iced Tea on trips like these, I brought black tea bags and they had a pitcher of Iced Tea in the dining area for the whole 10 days we shared with everyone (it was popular). Very accomodating and nice staff.
