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.

Wonderful liveaboard in the Banda Sea!
The liveaboard with Blue Manta was very good! Everything was well organized, the good organization of the dives, friendliness and helpfulness of the crew, spacious and comfortable ship, good cruise leader Evan should be highlighted.Spacious dive deck with personal space per diver. The crew members carried our BCD with diving tank to the dinghies, careful handling of the cameras. Dive guides responded to group requests and are very experienced.Large sun deck with plenty of shade. The ship was very stable, also very suitable for longer crossings.Food was good, but can be a bit more varied on an 11-day tour. Vegetarian option was offered.

- Small dive groups (max 4 divers / guide). Very nice and helpful staff. Spacious room with bathroom.

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 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.

Komodo has a great range of diving experience, Blue Manta is a purpose built boat for diving. The setup is so good, makes each dive feel so relaxing from dive brief to finish. The staff on the boat are superb, they do a good job looking after all the divers during dive an on the boat.

All around top notch experience
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience diving Komodo on Blue Manta. The boat is so comfortable and spacious. The room and bathroom were the roomiest I've experienced on a liveaboard. The crew always went the extra mile, whether it was dealing with gear, serving food, or dealing with any minor issues in a prompt and timely manner. The dive briefings were thorough, and the dive guides did a great job of showing the best aspects of each dive site. The next time I do a liveaboard in Indonesia, it will definitely be on board the Blue Manta.
