We would recommend the White Manta
We really enjoyed our time on the White Manta. The crew and the captain were great. The service was brilliant. The dive masters were really knowledgeable, and were able to spot sea life we sometimes missed. Great trip.

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.

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!
