One of the best liveaboards out there
The best liveaboard I’ve been on. The cabin was really spacious with a comfortable bed. The crew did everything possible to make our trip enjoyable. The dive sites were great and our dive guides were keen to show us all the critters while keeping us safe. I’ve already booked my next trip for the next year.

Most comfortable liveaboard you will ever experience with great diving in a unqiue transition exploratory trip!
White Manta is such a spacious liveaboard. The rooms are full size hotel rooms full air conditioned with full size bathrooms unheard of on a boat. Ample room to accommodate up to 28 divers on the dive deck while prepping gear to start a dive. The boat even has its own dedicated camera room for people who focus on photography. Proper trip and diving coordination, from spacing out dive teams, limiting 4 people per guide, great guides that can care for any level of diver, crew carrying your gear to the launch boats, island visits and constant coordination on what is planned to go on. This boat won over a future repeat customer here! I haven't even started on the diving. Transition trip from Lembeh to Sangalaki. Diving highlights were turtles a plenty, many frog fish, up close mantas, mucho macro, hammerhead, channel diving, and whale sharks.

Incredible Banda Sea Crossing & Raja Ampat Liveaboard Experience
Just finished an amazing liveaboard trip across the Banda Sea and Raja Ampat—easily one of the best dive trips I’ve ever had! The dive sites were spectacular, offering everything from stunning pelagics like hammerheads or tuna to fascinating macro life. Our dive master Komang, was fantastic, guiding us to the best spots and pointing out hidden gems that truly made each dive unforgettable. The crew was outstanding—always friendly, attentive, and ready to help, which made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. We had a spacious cabin on the main deck that was as clean and well-kept as a 4-star hotel, with plenty of room to relax after each day’s dives. Between dives, we enjoyed fresh, delicious food and a few unexpected surprises, including a surprise birthday celebration and a special gathering to celebrate one diver’s 1000th dive—moments that brought the entire group together. If you’re considering a liveaboard in this region, I can’t recommend this experience enough! Top-notch service, amazing dive spots, and a comfortable, spacious and clean boat—this trip had it all.
