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.

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.

Exactly as expected and more!
I loved that the water was so warm and dives were 60 minutes long! Egoi was an amazing trip leader...very knowledgeable and responsible...funny and professional. I was hanging out in the camera room a lot with PJ (the videographer) and I had a blast in there! I am vegan and they were able to accommodate me which was unexpected and delicious! The boat is so big and comfortable...I never got sea sick and the crew is just amazing :)

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.

Trip of a lifetime
Diving in Misool - overwhelming variety and number of fish Exploring lagoon and waterfall at coastline of Papua Exploring Triton Bay - incredible diversity of corals Meeting friends for life .... it is hard to determine the highlights of this trip as every day was a highlight in its own. Even though I'm very critical this trip for me was perfect in every aspect - the diving, the boat, the crew and their service, the food and the co-divers/travelers. I can only recommend the Blue Manta and would book it again anytime!

Best Dive - Liveaboard experience
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.

The best liveaboard experience I have had
Cabin size and always kept clean. Friendly helpful crew. The boat setup is great loved the showers at the back, the nice warm ginger tea at the end of each dive. Dive briefing very helpful. The crew really engage with the guests checking we are ok getting our import all the time. Small number in each dive group ( only 4 per dive guide is great ) Food was great diving was great the whole experience was one to remember and Sarah and I are coming back.
