7 days of fun and adventure at Komodo!!
The professionalism and service with a smile! The cruise director prepared us well for what to expect at each dive site - best dive briefings peppered with a sense of humor! Choice of dive sites and really informative about each site. This is the best liveaboard and dive crew that one could ask for - designed by divers for divers, nothing superfluous and everything works!
- Recommended for
- The entire team, from the ship's crew, the service crew and of course the dive crew - outstanding job!!. The cabin is nice and spacious, not luxurious, but functional and well kept. The boat itself, from the dive deck, dining deck and upper deck - well kept, and nicely designed.

Spacious boat
The rooms and bathrooms were probably the most spacious we've seen on a liveaboard. I also really appreciated that the dive groups were small (ours was 4 divers total) and appropriately grouped based on skill level, interests and personalities. The food was good, but sometimes pretty repetitive, and nothing about it blew us away. We were also somewhat disappointed in the drink selection. Other boats we've been on have offered "happy hour" cocktails and a decent selection of beer and wine, but here there was only a very limited selection of beer, and you could buy a few wines by the bottle. The diving itself was good, but not great. This may be a symptom of Komodo as a whole though, as opposed to anything to do with the boat or guides. According to one of the guides, a lot of (illegal) over-fishing occurred during Covid, and the area hasn't really recovered, so the wildlife isn't as abundant as it used to be.

Raja Ampat. Period.
Raja Ampat lived up to its reputation. So grateful to get off the waitlist for Blue Manta. Don’t wait too long to book. Dive sites were a blast with some many fish, Cedric our maestro ran a top ship, the crew were incredibly hospitable and food was delicious, Vickly represented the best of divemasters, and my peers were a great, friendly group. Many of whom had been on the ship (and route) several times prior. Hope to do a crossing and/or Komodo soon with them. 5 stars!

A solid trip with a solid boat.
Crew and other guests were a good bunch. Dive site selection was varied and rarely ever felt crowded. Hot drinks and dry towels after every dive. Very stable boat— hopping off the speed boats felt like walking into a dock. Spacious rooms and excellent service by the entire crew.

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!
