Blue Manta in Raja - top notch
Fantastic boat, spacious rooms, food very good and couldn’t ask for a better crew. Boat director is excellent and always available (Evan). Like to see the Dive Masters pointing out things more actively given their expertise with the sites.

An exceptional liveaboard experience.
Splendid dive and ship operations in my option. All crew worked as one team! It was a joy to wake up and have all day genuinely smiling and competent people around. I particularly liked the cruise directors philosophy. His wake-up calls and dive briefings are legendary. All dive guides did their very best to suit all guests interests and abilities. I gladly will be back on the Blue Manta.
