Great service made the trip so enjoyable
Great service from the crews in ensuring all dives go smoothly. Juan, our dive guide, is experienced, patience and top-notch in guiding us, especially when we experienced unexpected strong drift current, up-current, and down-current, even as we got split up because of the current. He managed to find all the macros on our wishlist. We are well fed by the kitchen and food crew. Room cleanliness was also well maintained.

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.

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.

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.
