Liveaboard dive boats, scuba instruction and boat charters The Blue Manta is one of three ships owned and operated by White Manta Diving.
The 45 meter Blue Manta, launched in December 2015, is a custom made marine vessel designed by and built for scuba divers. We offer dive trips in the Bali, Flores, Banda, Ceram and Halmahera Seas as well as Triton and Cenderwasih Bays. The others include the 36m White Manta (2011) which is currently operating in the South China Seas. The other ship is the 32m Black Manta (2005, refurbished 2011) which, like the Blue Manta, is also operating around Komodo, Raja Ampat and the Banda Sea.
This was from last week trip to Sangalaki with a few WS . This morning we have more than 10 mantas show up ! Great start for our Korean charter😃😃

"Tatawa besar"
One of the most popular drift dive in Komodo channel.Beautiful long reef with abundant of orange soft coral and hard coral reef in the shallow part.
Most of the time we will drift nearly a kilometer reef and along the way Broadclub Cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus) always hangout there and sometime laying eggs.Quite a lots of Hawkbills turtles along the reefs and spend time eating sponges inside a patch of hard coral.Whitetip and Blacktip reef shark passing by or even Manta rays.
Nice and easy divesite to learn about current in Komodo :)
