Comments	Totally recommend this boat blue manta and her sister boat white manta. Very similar set up. Great photographic facilities. Dive briefings professional and detailed. Cruise Director and team always attentive. Gear was well taken care of. Food varied and a lot. Breakfast and lunch were buffet style and Dinner was service. Cook could cater to all needs. Soft and hot drinks free Aside from the diving when whales and dolphins were spotted we were taken in dinghies to get as close as possible. There was a professional videographer on board who came with us on every dive to capture the best moments. His work is truly top class. Unfortunately the water was too warm (29 degrees) for hammerheads. But we did see coral blooming
