Loved every minute - great diving, great people, great boat, great crew.
I had a fantastic time overall on Blue Manta. All of the crew were amazing and each did everything they could to ensure everything went smoothly and that everybody had a good time. The cabins are basis, and a bit dated - but overall very clean and comfortable. I was lucky to have a fantastic group of fellow travellers, with great variety of nationalities, backgrounds, language, experience, etc. - so lots to learn and absorb and everybody got along well. Cedric and the other dive guides were super-knowledgeable. The dive briefings were excellent and there were no (bad) surprises in the water. Food/drinks - the meals were excellent all the way through, with great variety every day. 3 full meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and plenty of snacks and other food options available throughout the day if that isn't enough. Unlimited soft drinks too, which really worked for me as I don't drink alcohol. Choice of price of alcoholic beverages seemed very acceptable to those who did have them.

Great service made the trip so enjoyable
Great service from the crews in ensuring all dives go smoothly. Juan, our dive guide, is experienced, patience and top-notch in guiding us, especially when we experienced unexpected strong drift current, up-current, and down-current, even as we got split up because of the current. He managed to find all the macros on our wishlist. We are well fed by the kitchen and food crew. Room cleanliness was also well maintained.

Unforgettable liveaboard in beautiful locations with a great ship and an excellent team on board, both in terms of diving care and service on the ship.
Many rare marine animals, e.g. electric flame clam or disco mussel, seahorses, flatworms, frogfish, leaf fish, ghost pipefish, etc. Some of them have beautiful corals, including numerous gorgonians such as giant gorgonians, knotted sea fans, broom gorgonians and others.

Blue Manta in Raja - top notch
Fantastic boat, spacious rooms, food very good and couldn’t ask for a better crew. Boat director is excellent and always available (Evan). Like to see the Dive Masters pointing out things more actively given their expertise with the sites.

Awesome week
A great week aboard a recent boat and with all the essentials to feel at home. Very professional and caring crew. The only downside is the last 2 dives of the trip, more mainstream and close to Sorong, surprising for this type of trip
