Manta X

Manta X is the newest vessel from White Manta, an Indonesian dive operator with over a decade of expertise operating liveaboards in some of the country's most isolated and rewarding diving locations. They're known for small groups, attentive crews, and itineraries that go beyond the conventional routes. 

Manta X runs itineraries across Indonesia, departing from ports that shift depending on your route. Common embarkation points include Sorong, Labuan Bajo, Ambon, Manado, Nabire, Kaimana, Alor, Ternate, and Bau Bau. Once you've confirmed your trip, White Manta will send over full logistics — nearest airport, transfer details, and everything you need before you arrive. Airport transfers are complimentary

Manta X takes you deep into the heart of Indonesia's best diving, cruising through some of the world's most biodiverse waters. Depending on your itinerary, you could find yourself exploring the technicolor reefs of Raja Ampat, drifting past schools hammerheads and pygmy seahorses in the Banda Sea, or coming face to face with Komodo's legendary mantas and strong-current dive sites in Komodo National Park. With a 1:2 guide-to-diver ratio, every dive is guided to your pace, whether you're chasing whale sharks in Cenderawasih or hovering over a pygmy seahorse in Raja Ampat.

Manta X has 12 spacious en-suite cabins, each air-conditioned and designed to provide comfort after a long day of diving. With only 12 people on board, the atmosphere feels more like a private yacht than a traditional liveaboard. There is no single supplement, so solo travelers can enjoy the entire cabin experience without paying extra.

Meals on board the Manta X are a mix of Western and Indonesian cuisine, served buffet-style and plated depending on the meal. With three meals a day plus snacks, biscuits, drinking water, hot beverages, and soft drinks all included, you're well taken care of from morning briefings to post-dive evenings. It's the kind of casual, satisfying spread that hits just right after a full day underwater.
