White Manta Liveaboard
White Manta liveaboard in thailand. Comfortable liveaboard with lots of room. A very safe well built steel boat. Meals served outside on upper deck. Works good if weather good. Dive deck well organized and well laid out. Dive briefings done very well with currents always taken into account. White Manta dives from two inflatables which work very good. Other operators in thailand dive from liveaboard with no inflatable or pickup arrangements, which I consider very unsafe, as i saw another liveaboard drive right by dive flag of a group on the white manta doing a safety stop. Upper rooms lots of space and comfortable with on suite facilities. Lower rooms share two bathrooms with two bathrooms also on dive deck. Depending on the type of trip white manta holds either 24 or 36 guest on short trips. Twenty four guests there is lots of space. Thailand diving has rocks the size of cars or even houses with corals attached. Some sites have suffered with the corals dying because of very warm water a couple of years ago. Small fish life was very good with schools of fish. Some larger groupers but no sharks or mantas seen. You do see alot of fishing boats at night. Would defiantly dive with white manta liveaboard again. They have another liveaboard the black manta as well as another one being built. Company well organized and easy to deal with.
