Reviews

The White Manta is a 46 metre long steel-hulled motor yacht launched in 2019 and designed to accommodate up to 22 divers around Raja Ampat, Banda, Komodo and beyond.

There are many aspects than make White Manta an outstanding choice: 24 hour satellite WiFi connection throughout the trip, 5 meals a day, excellent photography facilities and more. The indoor saloon features a 52" plasma TV, DVD and media server. The large sundeck is partially covered and features sun chairs and loungers. They also have a wealth of experience catering to the needs of all nationalities as well as non-divers, children and the disabled.

Guests can choose to dine either in the air-conditioned indoor dining room or in the al fresco area at the stern of the upper deck. All cabins are ensuite and air-conditioned and guests can choose bed configurations from: 2 single beds, 2 single beds and 1 double, and 1 single bed. There is also a very welcome single occupancy policy.

The comfort and convenience of scuba divers is paramount in the design of White Manta and the approach of the staff. You will appreciate the spacious dive deck with individual diver stations, 2 toilets and enriched air nitrox blending system. Among the 20 crew members are 5 dive guides, meaning guaranteed small groups go diving from 4 RIB dive tenders and return to post-dive treats like warm towels, hot drinks and fruit.

Photographers will love features like the camera rinse tanks, shelving spaces and wide outdoor work table on the dive deck. Of course the dedicated camera room is the real gem with ample charging areas and storage space, making White Manta a great choice for underwater photography enthusiasts and regular divers alike.
