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.

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!
