FOOD AND BEVERAGE

Food is truly exceptional at Blue Manta. There are three onboard chefs who assure that guests can feast on delectable dishes, not just thrice but five times a day. A usual day begins with serving freshly baked bread. Along the day, heavy meals are of Western, Indonesian, and Thai origins.
The food can be enjoyed through comfortable fine dining at the main Saloon. Yet, guests have the option to have them served at outdoor seatings to simultaneously gaze the amazing landscapes of the tropical islands and the azure waters.

As body fuel is a much-needed requirement for dives, the crew makes sure that snacks are well-served along with a selection of water, tea, coffee or soft drinks.
