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.

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.

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.

The trip of a lifetime
Everything was PERFECT. The staff waited on us in every way, cleaning constantly, maintaining our rooms, complete with evening turn down service and helping everyone with scuba gear. No need to lift a finger for anything. The food was exquisite, a mixture of local delicacies, combined with comfortable and familiar selections, always fresh and healthy, plated four course dinners. The diving was outstanding! The guides were next level! Able to spot the invisible and find us the most impressive large creatures. We had a really fun group of other divers along for the trip and made friendships that will last a lifetime.

Trip of a Lifetime! (So far...)
First livaboard, first visit to the East. Needless to say, I reset my algorithm and I have no one but myself and this wonderful crew and boat to blame for it. I live in what is usually referred to as a great diving destination (Belize CA). I saw two solitary barracuda onfirst dive back. After being reef hooked onto the earth, floating like a balloon, and watching perhaps 100;s of thousands of barracudas floating in the current from about 3 meters over my head down into the abyss as far as I could see? Needless to say, my excitement was much lessened.

Amazing diving with amazing people
We thoroughly enjoyed our liveaboard experience on White Manta with Nacho and crew. It was hands down the best liveaboard we’ve been on. The food was delicious and full of variety, and the crew was so attentive. Of course Raja Ampat has some of the best diving in the world, so overall we would definitely come back!
