White Manta Explorer Liveaboard Reviews
Tim Yeo
The White Manta is a spacious and comfortable liveaboard that works very well for divers looking for a relaxed mid range option in Indonesia. The boat can accommodate up to 28 guests, but the generous layout means there is still plenty of room to spread out between dives. Guests can relax in the indoor dining area, the upper deck lounge space, or the large covered sun deck, which has plenty of lounge beds, tables, and chairs. Cabins and ensuite bathrooms are large, comfortable, and offer good storage space, with options across the upper, main, and lower decks. The main deck cabins are especially convenient for guests who prefer to avoid stairs, as the dive deck, dining area, and cabins are all on the same level. Cabins are serviced multiple times per day while guests are diving, which helps keep the rooms fresh and comfortable throughout the trip. Diving is done from three large metal zodiacs, with plenty of space for guests and gear. The crew loads the dive equipment onto the zodiacs, so guests only need to step on and off with their masks, making the process easy and comfortable. Dive groups are kept small, with a 4:1 guide ratio, and the zodiac setup allows groups to be transported efficiently to and from the dive sites. Meals are plentiful, with buffet style breakfast and lunch, and a plated three course dinner each evening. The White Manta is also a good choice for single divers, as some departures offer shared options with a relatively low single supplement.

Friendly, responsive and helpful crew, comfy / clean accommodations, terrific food, and spacious common areas. Efficient dive operations with 3 zodiacs, guides that find even the tiniest creatures, and showers to rinse off as you take off your wetsuit. Camera room with AC. Private and common areas cleaned daily. Hope to go back out with them soon!
