M/V Black Manta, any opinions?

[Traminer]

Am looking forward to the apres dive massages! Does BM still offer that on the sundeck?

 

[Zippsy]

yes. although I still prefer the massuese they had in 2006. She was the best on land or sea, IMHO.

Just to let you know my wife and I are headed out on the Black Manta for 5 days to the Similans in two weeks time.

Woot! I'll be there next week! Can't wait!

emorrow and coalfox....I am envious....can't wait until it's my turn to go. Let me know how it goes. I am especially interested if there have been any whale shark sightings in the similians.

Have a great time!!!

Who is the best crowd to book these liveaboards through? The black manta looks AWESOME btw!

Nearly everybody offers Black Manta. Not many trips available this year though, nearly all trips are fully booked.

Read on one of the Phuket web that one was spotted over at Richelieu on 11th!

Hope the whale shark(s) is in the area for my dive trip. Seeing a whale shark is in my top ten things that I want to see while diving.
