Exception service with a very dedicated team.
If you are a diver looking for an operator with a high repeat customer following, then you seriously need to experience diving with White Manta liveaboard. On our trip to Triton Bay, at least 7 of our fellow divers were repeaters. We will also join the repeater club and are already planning our next trip on the Blue Manta later this year. The level of dive service, safety and organization compared to other operators we have experienced makes the White Manta really stand out above the rest.

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.

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.

Misool to Trition Bay Trip- Just say yes!!
Loved this trip from Misoolto Trition Bay! Oceanic Mantas, Whale Sharks, Bumphead Parrotfish, Huge schools of surgeon fish, fusseiliers and anthias. Mind blowing healthy diversity of coral. Highly recommend this itinerary. Downside was the Russian couple on the trip that was trashing the coral and trying to touch everything including the manta and whale sharks.

- Our dive guide Yos was one of the best zive had in my 1,800 logged dives.. The amount of healthy coral and marine life in Triton Bay was mind blowing!. The cabin and beds were super comfortable and the galley boys were fun and friendly, food was good..

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.

Our 2nd liveaboard and it was a great experience. The boat is decent, good variety of food withala carte dinner. Diving rental gear is aging a bit but in very good condition. Which really made this trip standout is the staff. They are really amazing.
