Black Manta

The KM Black Manta was built in 2006 and a refurbishment on the lower deck was completed in 2011 July. She is one of the few vessels in Indonesian waters outfitted with a steel hull and twin engines.

The 14-man crew onboard the KM Black Manta are very experienced, friendly and hard working. Divers are quickly put at ease by their helpfulness and cheer.

Our services on board include a Nitrox membrane system, 10 sets of full dive gear, two masseuses, Nespresso coffee-making machine, housekeeping and laundry, as well as personal sea-safe tracking devices. Beverages such as coffee, tea, Milo and drinking water are offered free of charge. Soft drinks, beers and wine are for sale. Meals onboard are mainly Indonesian and Western fare served buffet-style.
