White Manta (Indonesia): Schedule, Deals, Reviews

Awesome. Experience was first class. Diving was even better. Can’t wait to get back on board.

Superlative experience!! Everything was excellent. Cruisemaster, Cedric, and staff were attentive to every detail, above and below water. Food was 5 stars. Enjoyed camaraderie with other guests. I most definitely hope to return, and bring an underwater camera, soon!!

Pro: From the moment they picked us up at the airport, they were very attentive. A nice warm welcome from the Cruise Director, Evan. A refreshing cold towel and drink. The room was spacious, plenty of hangers and enough shelves. The bathroom was spacious and plenty of hooks. The lounge area had plenty of drinks and comfortable. I really like the sundeck, great lounge area with big double/single sunbed in the shade and sun chair in the sun. They were plenty of furniture including near the bow of the boat in front of the wheelhouse. The food was excellent, plenty, and flavorful, especially, the soup. They also remember that I’m gluten-free from day 1. My birthday, the crew sang several songs and played their instruments. It really made it special. I love the BBQ night! They made too much food. Love the fact, I was able to have a massage. The cruise director, Evan, was very personable. His dive briefings was great, even, told us how to position our body looking at the reef and let the current pass you. He was genuine and was happy that we picked Blue Manta to dive Komodo. My guide, Onal, was excellent. He even broke his mask before we backrolled and still did a 60mins dive at Golden Passage w current. He checked on our air at least 2X to determine which route to take us. He was awesome and he knew where everyone was. I have to say the crew, service,food, liveaboard, dive briefing, and route was excellent. Also, I love the dedicated camera station in the dry room. I would definitely go again w the Blue Manta or the White Manta if Evan is the cruise director. Cons: touch up on the bathroom chalking the walls perimeter.
