Remote dive excursion with no other divers
Super time on Board, nice staff and plenty of space to relax in between the dives. This trip is for people who like remote sites with no other boat's. Good spots with healthy reefs, full of fish and reef sharks.

Best service, spacious cabins, epic dives
Yes, the diving is great but this boat really sets itself apart with its excellent service, delicious and plentiful food, and clean and comfy accommodations. The rooms are big, including the shower and bathroom. The beds are comfy. There’s plenty of space to lounge and socialize or just be solo. The crew is just impeccable. They help you with everything!!! All you have to do is jump in the water. We will surely miss them all. I recommend this boat 110%, without hesitation! You will love it!

Great trip on the White Manta.
This was a great trip. Nacho manages the boat in a friendly and professional manner, he and his team worked extra hard to make everyone comfortable while experiencing the best diving at Raja Ampat. The room for photography was terrific, we could live our equipment there, in our dedicated desks, ready for the next dive. I had a top floor cabin and it was super comfortable, roomy and with internal and external access. The food was fine, varied and plenty, as one would expect of good liveaboards. The White Manta is a good vessel, we had a rough overnight crossing and it coped with it very well. While it is not a new boat and certain areas may do with a refresh, everything worked well and we were very comfortable. Indeed, I preferred it to the much newer one I used in Philipines, it was more relaxed and enjoyable. We were also lucky to have a nice bunch of people on board, while this is a matter of luck, perhaps it attracts the right (to me) kind of customers. The crew was terrific, I am especially gratefull to Nacho, Ricky Our DM, and the cheerful guy who serviced our room, they offered an excellent service. Last and important point, each DM was in charge of four divers, wich compares well against other liveaboards where you could have six divers per DM. No fuss or BS, just good quality service and diving. I will be happy to return.

Most comfortable liveaboard you will ever experience with great diving in a unqiue transition exploratory trip!
White Manta is such a spacious liveaboard. The rooms are full size hotel rooms full air conditioned with full size bathrooms unheard of on a boat. Ample room to accommodate up to 28 divers on the dive deck while prepping gear to start a dive. The boat even has its own dedicated camera room for people who focus on photography. Proper trip and diving coordination, from spacing out dive teams, limiting 4 people per guide, great guides that can care for any level of diver, crew carrying your gear to the launch boats, island visits and constant coordination on what is planned to go on. This boat won over a future repeat customer here! I haven't even started on the diving. Transition trip from Lembeh to Sangalaki. Diving highlights were turtles a plenty, many frog fish, up close mantas, mucho macro, hammerhead, channel diving, and whale sharks.

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!
