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.

Loved every minute of it! I'll be back!
I can't say enough good things about this liveaboard! I had the absolute best experience from beginning to end. The boat is beautiful, comfortable, and well taken care of. The crew was so lovely, they always had a genuine smile on their faces and were always happy to help with anything. The food was seriously amazing, and the dive sites were so beautiful and allowed us to have the most amazing wildlife encounters and enjoy breathtaking views!! The whole thing worked like a very well oiled machine, and I really enjoyed every minute of it!!

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!

Diving vacation at it's best
Critters, some barracudas, whale sharks and many more fish. What else could a diver want? Besides the amazing White Manta crew, dive buddies and comfortable ship, probably more sharks and more NDL ;-) (on a sad note: it appears to me that shark populations in Indonesia declined sharply in the past 6 years)
