Loved every minute - great diving, great people, great boat, great crew.
I had a fantastic time overall on Blue Manta. All of the crew were amazing and each did everything they could to ensure everything went smoothly and that everybody had a good time. The cabins are basis, and a bit dated - but overall very clean and comfortable. I was lucky to have a fantastic group of fellow travellers, with great variety of nationalities, backgrounds, language, experience, etc. - so lots to learn and absorb and everybody got along well. Cedric and the other dive guides were super-knowledgeable. The dive briefings were excellent and there were no (bad) surprises in the water. Food/drinks - the meals were excellent all the way through, with great variety every day. 3 full meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and plenty of snacks and other food options available throughout the day if that isn't enough. Unlimited soft drinks too, which really worked for me as I don't drink alcohol. Choice of price of alcoholic beverages seemed very acceptable to those who did have them.

Unforgettable dive trip
Exceptional Crew and Dive Guides: The crew are professional, friendly, enthusiastic, and extremely competent. The cruise director (like Evan or Cedric) delivering the highest-quality dive briefings and creating a fantastic itinerary. Guides are excellent at spotting everything from tiny pygmy seahorses to mantas. Spacious and Comfortable Vessel: Blue Manta is spacious, well-maintained, and very comfortable. Cabins are large, air conditioning, and private bathrooms. Amenities include a dedicated camera room, charging stations, and even massage services. Outstanding Food and Service: The food receives high marks, a delicious mix of Indonesian and Western cuisine, and free-flowing soft drinks. The crew provides attentive service, including handling gear, hot showers after dives, and warm ginger tea or snacks. World-Class Diving: The diving is spectacular, with clear, warm water and abundant marine life. Highlights include sightings of mantas, sharks, turtles, and incredible macro life.

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.

Awesome week
A great week aboard a recent boat and with all the essentials to feel at home. Very professional and caring crew. The only downside is the last 2 dives of the trip, more mainstream and close to Sorong, surprising for this type of trip

Amazing!!!
Everything was awesome. The boat is great and very comfortable, with spacious rooms, very clean, and amazing food. The crew was super nice, always there to help with a smile. The dive sites are out of this world, with very detailed briefing, and full of wildlife. The dive master Onal is a legend. All of them are. Everything was great and exceeded my expectations.
