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.

A great diving trip with great crew
I went to Raja Ampat by Blue Manta . The diving experience was amazing and the staff was very friendly and took care of your requests. The diving groups are relatively small (groups of 4 unless requested otherwise). The boat is also very comfortable and you don’t feel cramped. The boat is getting old and needs some TLC but it is extremely comfortable. The food is mostly local and I find it a bit high in carb.

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.
