Ten unforgettable days of world-class diving in Raja Ampat aboard the White Manta
Fantastic 10-day diving trip aboard White Manta in Raja Ampat. The boat is spacious and comfortable, cabins were clean, and everything was well organized. The dive guides and crew were excellent — professional, safety-focused, and very knowledgeable. Diving was outstanding with incredible coral, huge schools of fish, mantas, sharks, and great variety throughout the trip. Food was plentiful and delicious, and the overall service was top-notch. An unforgettable Raja Ampat experience. Highly recommended.

Exception service with a very dedicated team.
If you are a diver looking for an operator with a high repeat customer following, then you seriously need to experience diving with White Manta liveaboard. On our trip to Triton Bay, at least 7 of our fellow divers were repeaters. We will also join the repeater club and are already planning our next trip on the Blue Manta later this year. The level of dive service, safety and organization compared to other operators we have experienced makes the White Manta really stand out above the rest.

The trip of a lifetime
Everything was PERFECT. The staff waited on us in every way, cleaning constantly, maintaining our rooms, complete with evening turn down service and helping everyone with scuba gear. No need to lift a finger for anything. The food was exquisite, a mixture of local delicacies, combined with comfortable and familiar selections, always fresh and healthy, plated four course dinners. The diving was outstanding! The guides were next level! Able to spot the invisible and find us the most impressive large creatures. We had a really fun group of other divers along for the trip and made friendships that will last a lifetime.

Your most epic dive adventure awaits...
Seeing all of the charismatic megafauna- Thresher sharks, Whale sharks, Turtles, schooling barracuda, Manta rays- the list goes on. A highlight for me was going to Sangalakki and being a part of the baby turtle release. This was very special! The crew were amazing. The service and food was top notch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
