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!

Great trip to Banda Sea
I had an incredible time on board! The dive guides were highly experienced and knew the area extremely well, making every dive both safe and exciting. The boat was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. My cabin had plenty of room, and the daily housekeeping made the stay even more enjoyable. The entire crew was incredibly helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The food was great, fresh, varied, and absolutely delicious at every meal. Thanks to the large steel hull, the boat remained stable even in rougher seas, making the journey smooth and comfortable throughout. Between dives, there were plenty of places to relax, whether on the sun deck or in the cozy lounge. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I’d highly recommend to any diver looking for a well-organized and memorable trip!

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.
