Black Manta

Black Manta – Thailand Liveaboard – Indonesia Liveaboard Cruises

The Black Manta is a luxury liveaboard serving both Thailand and Indonesia. She has many features that are sure to please the diver seeking the luxury class of steel-hulled liveaboards. Owned, operated and designed by an avid diver – the Black Manta has many small touches that are sure to please the avid diver in this price range.

The 9 highly experienced crew take great pride in exceptional service whilst always maintaining safety.

With 9 comfortable en-suite cabins (plus one standard twin), an extensive dive deck, huge lounge plus full safety equipment, this vessel is truly state of the art and we predict this boat will get very popular with our guests for its mid range priced trips with that little extra. An ice maker has been installed to ensure you drinks are always cold, and warm towels will be given to you after every dive.

Cabins: There is one Master cabin which has an en-suite bathroom and is much larger than the other cabins.

There is a double bed and also a twin bunk, so it can be booked by families or by 4 divers, or just as a double cabin.

There are 8 double/twin en suite deluxe cabins plus 1 standard twin cabin with shared bathroom.

The second standard cabin can be used for guests on charters or maybe used as a divemaster cabin
