Amazing crew and food
Amazing crew, always a smile on their faces, helping you in everything. It's my fifth life on board in the Maldives and it's the time I've eaten better. The boat is super new and everything is super clean. I will definitely be back next year.

Great staff, beautiful boat, awesome diving
Had a fantastic time on the Black Manta. Simone the trip manager was excellent and the dive guides were phenomenal - they really know and love their work. The boat was new, clean and spacious. My only area for improvement would be to have some savoury snacks available as all the snacks are sweet but that’s very minor. I highly recommend this live aboard

Super experience with Black Manta
We've been in several liveaboard safaries in the last years, but this was the best experience ever. New, big and well maintained boat, wonderfull crew and the best food ever ( the Chef was 5 stars ). We will come back for sure to do the South. Thank you Black Manta Team!
