Some epic dives with great food!
This is a big, modern boat with large rooms and good sized en suites. As you’d expect the diving is well organised with kit loaded onto tenders - so super easy. The food is good and there was plenty of it - I gained 2kg! All the staff were helpful and super friendly. Given the cost you might expect free wifi, 15l tanks, nitrox etc but you’re charged for everything. As a solo traveller I was surprised I wasn’t allowed to use one of the free rooms. I was told I’d have to pay a single person supplement if I wanted my own room.

A journey I will cherish forever
The crew is friendly and polite. The dive masters are professional, they will usually do a checkout dive to assess the current conditions and scout for marine life. The room service is excellent and they make the bed neatly every day

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.

Great Boat, Great People, Great Diving
The boat is comfortable and roomy. The food is very good. The diving in Similans was also great - we were lucky with the weather so that also helped. The support staff on board are friendly and very competent. The Dive Masters were all friendly, helpful and competent. I will likely return and can recommend it to others without hesitation.
