Manta and Whale Shark Photo Safari

Backscatter recently dove again with the Manthiri. A refit has given the Manthiri a large and gracious air conditioned salon. Half of this salon is organized with couches into cozy islands where small groups of passengers may gather to visit, or seek privacy in their book. The other half of this comfortable salon serves as the dining room with two large round tables giving everyone plenty of elbowroom. The food was superb and lavish with a European/American/Indian flair. There is a meat and a fish course at every meal. No report about this fine dive boat would be complete without mentioning the exceptional crew that acts as your host, food service, cabin maintenance, and dive crew. Working in exceptional harmony this crew of eleven will have learned all your habits by the second day. On the dive dhony (boat) the dive crew will have your gear set-up and waiting when you arrive, your backpack positioned just as you like it. Photo Gallery.
