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!

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

Amazing!!!
Everything was awesome. The boat is great and very comfortable, with spacious rooms, very clean, and amazing food. The crew was super nice, always there to help with a smile. The dive sites are out of this world, with very detailed briefing, and full of wildlife. The dive master Onal is a legend. All of them are. Everything was great and exceeded my expectations.

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.
