Generous indoor and outdoor spaces, 12 air-conditioned ensuite cabins, four dive tenders and a dedicated 12-station camera room make it a stand-out choice for discerning divers who value both comfort and capability. Launching in late 2026, initial itineraries focus on Raja Ampat and Misool before expanding to routes through Triton Bay, the Banda Sea, Alor and beyond. For now, Manta X delivers exceptional standards of service with a 1-to-1 crew to guest ratio, and trips are set to become especially exclusive in the near future, with many voyages catering to just 12 guests.
