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

High quality and professional
Raja Ampat is spectacular and Blue Manta contributes to the amazing experience. Blue Manta is a big heavy vessel. Maybe because of this it is less noisy than other liveaboards. Very spacious, huge cabins, lots of space to chill out and extremely stable. I would not notice that we were moving. By far the most stable liveaboard where I have been. Cedric the leader has a huge knowledge and makes very interesting briefings, in his own way :-) and chooses wisely the divesites. The diveguides are experienced and the crew skilled and helpful. The food was fresh and tasty. For my taste a bit boring after 10 days with few choice on vegetables. A little annoying that the wifi does not work in the cabins of the lower deck. I would go tomorrow again.

- Raja Ampat is amazing and the dive sites were well chosen. Many of them were awesome. The vessel is very spacious and incredibly stable.. The crew is friendly and helpful and works very well together..

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.
- Recommended for
- 1. Diving with sea snakes. 2. Solar Eclipse Experience on Nyata Island, 3. Very different diving destinations that are both biologically and geologically enormously varied (e.g. Misool, Ring of Fire (Manuk (beautiful bird island), Nile Desperandum), Nile Desperando

Top Notch Trip!
The Blue Manta is a fabulous ship - clean, modern and comfortable. Plenty of room for lounging on the sun deck or mid deck, rooms are big and beautiful, and the scuba area is large and well organized. The staff was super attentive and helpful, paying attention to details and comfort all the time. The food was plentiful and great quality - and it kept coming! Komodo park was excellent and their schedule of dives kept me busy and happy. Great boat and great trip - I would do it again in a heartbeat!
