This was my second trip on the White Manta. Everything was great, really enjoyed the diving and food, the trip was very well organised. Thanks for Gustavo for finding the macro critters and to Lea for great chats between the dives.

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.

Great trip on the White Manta.
This was a great trip. Nacho manages the boat in a friendly and professional manner, he and his team worked extra hard to make everyone comfortable while experiencing the best diving at Raja Ampat. The room for photography was terrific, we could live our equipment there, in our dedicated desks, ready for the next dive. I had a top floor cabin and it was super comfortable, roomy and with internal and external access. The food was fine, varied and plenty, as one would expect of good liveaboards. The White Manta is a good vessel, we had a rough overnight crossing and it coped with it very well. While it is not a new boat and certain areas may do with a refresh, everything worked well and we were very comfortable. Indeed, I preferred it to the much newer one I used in Philipines, it was more relaxed and enjoyable. We were also lucky to have a nice bunch of people on board, while this is a matter of luck, perhaps it attracts the right (to me) kind of customers. The crew was terrific, I am especially gratefull to Nacho, Ricky Our DM, and the cheerful guy who serviced our room, they offered an excellent service. Last and important point, each DM was in charge of four divers, wich compares well against other liveaboards where you could have six divers per DM. No fuss or BS, just good quality service and diving. I will be happy to return.

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.

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.

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!!
