Awesome time
I had an awesome time with Manta. The crew is awesome. The food is awesome. The diving was awesome. This liveaboard is set up with some fun additional activities like karaoke, live music during dinners, getting a custom meal for me as a vegetarian, etc that really make it stand out from other liveaboards that I have done. I met a lot of great people on this trip as well. I highly recommend it. So many great memories.

Amazing reefs!
From start to finish everything was on time and on point. Delicious food, amazing and super friendly and helpfull cabin crew, dive sites were very different so you could have a bit of everything. From corals to shipwrecks to great app reef, to big wildlife. A nice mix of everything was just perfect and never boring.

Great trip
Very good energy & vibes! Very informative on the wildlife, and the wrecks so we knew the history & characteristics of what we were seeing while diving. Friendly & welcoming staff, felt at home. Music & dinner in the evening on the top deck was beautiful. Took an advanced course on board & the instructor did a wonderful job, very attentive & thorough.

Good times
Exceptional staff especially MI MI the host! Really a great time. Great coral. With the exception of barracuda lake all the dives were great. Barracuda was so warm it was uncomfortable.. Food on the boat was also excellent. Great cook

Absolutely stunning experience
Staff again! Sean is the absolute perfect instructor, has advanced knowledge, made learning so much fun! Always respectful, exceeds expectations for CARE of guests, Mimi, the boat manager, took care of us till last detail, puts her heart in everything she does, treated us like family, never seen her face without a smile! All staff is discreet but were always there to offer a hand in any occasion needed! From equipment setup, to general inquiries, assistance throughout the trip was something unseen 🥰 Boat is comfortable, rooms have just enough space and a lovely big window with ocean views! Clean and neat, A/C runs very well all day, if u choose so. Lovely dining area, briefing lounge with great ambience and big screen where staff were displaying dive sight maps and other informative videos! Plenty of food, mostly local style, so if you love Asian cuisine will be your best! Equipment in great condition and plenty of spare options if needed, the staff will take great care of any of your requests. Diving is absolutely amazing, especially wrecks are something exceptional! Visibility was great all the way! Didn’t face much issues with currents. Boat is in great condition, some minor improvements that could be made so far are taken well cared by the staff, the rest are always noted by them to be developed by operators. Fully recommended trip to do, will be an unforgettable life experience! Would 100% come back!
