Raja Ampat. Period.
Raja Ampat lived up to its reputation. So grateful to get off the waitlist for Blue Manta. Don’t wait too long to book. Dive sites were a blast with some many fish, Cedric our maestro ran a top ship, the crew were incredibly hospitable and food was delicious, Vickly represented the best of divemasters, and my peers were a great, friendly group. Many of whom had been on the ship (and route) several times prior. Hope to do a crossing and/or Komodo soon with them. 5 stars!

Great diving, excellent service
This trip was very well organized. We went to very beautiful dive sites and saw everything that has been put forward in the sales pitch of the trip: hammerheads schools, beautiful corals and amazing biodiversity. The team is very friendly and the service very good, not to talk about the chef who has prepared very good Asian and Western dishes. I really recommend this trip to anyone looking for a change of scenery and unforgettable dives.

Exceptional crew!
The crew was fantastic, took great care with our gear and were well organized. It was the little details: they washed pur gear, tucked it away for drying, and it was was right where we needed it when it was time to suit up. They were very helpful. Everything on the ship was well maintained and very clean. The dive guides were just the best - real eagle eyes!
