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.

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.
- Recommended for
- Small dive groups (max 4 divers / guide). Very nice and helpful staff. Spacious room with bathroom.

That's great
Great cruise, everything was great! The magnificent dives, with both big (a little) and small, and an extraordinary environment. The dives are done in small groups (4 or 5) which is appreciated. The boat is really comfortable (even in the lower deck cabins), and the sun deck with its large double beds sheltered from the sun is really great. All the staff was very caring, the food very good and the organization impressive. The few excursions to "land" (a village, a lagoon...) were great too. In short, the dream.
