First Liveaboard experience was the best we could have hoped for
Able to enjoy 18 of the 20 dives which at 73 did not exhaust us out like usual from shore based. Crew and particularly Chef surprised us with delicious food and we did not lose weight which usually happens in the Philippines as I am vegetarian. Dive guides and especially the Dive instructor was especially helpful in advanced instruction for me and helping my wife be much more comfortable with her descent and buoyancy issues that we are certain to want to return with this vessel!

Superb diving, boat, food and most importantly, crew!
Amazing trip - relatively new boat, hence the lack of reviews, but we completed 4 full days of diving (12 dives total) in the stunning Apo Reef. Perfect number of dives (incl 2x night dives and we did our Advanced Open Water course whilst diving), dive groups were v small (3 guests per dive master). Crew are amazing & the food is excellent. Great value for money too! They also have 2 professional singers (Jessie & Jas) and a rooftop Kareoke set-up for the evening - fully recommend.

Amazing experience with a wonderful crew
Had an amazing few days on board. The crew couldn’t do any more to make you feel welcome and everyone was so friendly. The food was exquisite, the diving was amazing and the Dive Master’s were great and super helpful. I had so much fun I didn’t want to leave

It was a diving safari cruise that felt like a walk in an aquarium
There are only two aquariums in the world that breed dugongs. Japan and Australia. It's not often that you get lucky enough to see a dugong in the wild.All explanations are in English. There was a lecture on clownfish and crested parrotfish, and I listened to it with great interest. It's unfortunate that the waves were high and the second night dive was canceled, but it's not surprising considering the safety. All of the points are easy, so even those who have a small number of dives can participate with confidence. I think the Mr./Ms. guide is highly skilled. The staff are also very helpful and I would like to take a tour to other points as well. NOV1 is the best.

Wow!
My wife and I did the 8 day trip. I would recommend it to anyone serious about seeing as much of Philippines diving in one journey as possible. It's pretty intensive, but also very satisfying and exiting. The bed was comfortable, and the cabins have private bathrooms that could use a little TLC, but they are clean. The boat being multihull is quite spacious in the shared areas and functions well for it's new purpose. It just needs a little spiffing up as it is relatively new to this role. Pricing is very reasonable. It did meet all of our expectations. The staff are wonderful, I could name a couple that stand out but I don't want to take away from the whole excellent team. The food is excellent and the chef takes great care to keep everyone well fed. Thank you all for a great trip!

Amazing experience!
The crew makes this experience incredible. They are all so nice and go out of their way to make sure you are happy. Food was incredible, I think I am spoiled for the rest of my life now. Diving on this trip was epic! I was in a shared room which was ok - if you only care about the room this boat is not for you. But it’s a diving liveaboard so I spent very little time in the room - just to sleep. Thank you so much Manta.ph!
