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

Nice diving trip
Diving sites are excellent for us to see beautiful reef and fishes. I could see 2 hammer heads during the trip. Water is clear and warm for me to dive 3 to 4 times a day. DM was very helpful during divings and searched special things for taking photos.

Five star diving in Komodo
I take a couple of liveaboard dive trips each year for the last 20 years. The Blue Manta is one of the best boats I’ve ever been on. It’s spacious, with a fantastic crew, “Four Season” level of service and incredible food. The trip had an unforgettable diving itinerary thanks to the savvy cruise director who planned each day, avoiding traffic from other boats as well as best dive conditions for each dive site. I can’t wait to try their other boat in Indonesia next time. I highly recommend this boat for a trip of a lifetime!

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.

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!

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.
