Loved every minute - great diving, great people, great boat, great crew.
I had a fantastic time overall on Blue Manta. All of the crew were amazing and each did everything they could to ensure everything went smoothly and that everybody had a good time. The cabins are basis, and a bit dated - but overall very clean and comfortable. I was lucky to have a fantastic group of fellow travellers, with great variety of nationalities, backgrounds, language, experience, etc. - so lots to learn and absorb and everybody got along well. Cedric and the other dive guides were super-knowledgeable. The dive briefings were excellent and there were no (bad) surprises in the water. Food/drinks - the meals were excellent all the way through, with great variety every day. 3 full meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and plenty of snacks and other food options available throughout the day if that isn't enough. Unlimited soft drinks too, which really worked for me as I don't drink alcohol. Choice of price of alcoholic beverages seemed very acceptable to those who did have them.

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!

Cabins are large, air conditioning, and private bathrooms. Amenities include a dedicated camera room, charging stations, and even massage services.

The crew provides attentive service, including handling gear, hot showers after dives, and warm ginger tea or snacks. World-Class Diving: The diving is spectacular, with clear, warm water and abundant marine life. Highlights include sightings of mantas, sharks, turtles, and incredible macro life.

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.
