Blue Manta Liveaboard, Indonesia

The Blue Manta liveaboard covers a wide range of Indonesia’s top diving regions, including Komodo National Park, Alor, the Banda Sea, Ambon, and Raja Ampat. Cruises to Komodo explore both the north and south areas of the park. Northern Komodo offers exhilarating drift dives, strong sea conditions ideal for pelagics like manta rays, sharks, and dolphins, and scenic land excursions to see Komodo dragons. In the nutrient-rich southern region, macro enthusiasts can spot rare critters in cooler waters teeming with marine biodiversity. Longer trips in the schedule between Alor, the Ring of Fire, Banda, and Ambon allow divers to explore untouched coral reefs, volcanic underwater topography, and dramatic drop-offs. These itineraries feature sightings of schooling fish, sea snakes, reef sharks, and even scalloped hammerheads. Near Ambon, scuba divers can enjoy muck diving in search of exotic macro species.
