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.

White Manta Ambon trip - no hammerheads sadly, but amazing service from cruise director Lea, crew and dive guides.
I enjoyed my time on White Manta! Sadly we did not see the schooling hammerheads which was quite disappointing. but the rest of the diving was nice. There was impeccable service from the crew. We also had a great group on our boat altogether and all of us became friends which made the experience very rich. I would like to come back to dive with white manta!

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!

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 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.
