20% Discounts on Indonesia Diving

Black Manta Liveaboard - Previously in Thailand, now in Indonesia

Black Manta was one of our favourite Phuket dive boats over the last few years but this year she has changed flags and now sails and dives in Indonesia. She is one of several liveaboards that have left Phuket this year (more on this in a future post) and we wish her well. The Komodo trips from August to October are filling up quickly. Then in October Black Manta moves round to Raja Ampat and there are discounts available on the transition trips. The trips have pretty exciting looking itineraries with the combination of world class macro diving at Alor or Ambon and diving the Banda Sea which is still a great place to see large pelagics.

The discounted trips are:
22-31 Oct 2011: Alor-Banda Sea-Ambon (27 dives) US$2,080 (reduced from US$2,600)
3-13 Nov 2011: Ambon-Banda Island-Raja Ampat (27 dives) US$2,400 (reduced from US$3,000)

Black Manta will be replaced in the Similan Islands Thailand by a newer bigger dive boat White Manta. White Manta is already running dive liveaboard trips in Malaysia and getting good reports. As she hasn't arrived in Phuket yet I can't give a report but hope to see the boat before the season starts so I'll post a review then.
