Comments	The diving in Komodo Indonesia was probably some of the best diving I have ever done. We managed to get lucky the week we went and were blessed with seeing more than 15 manta rays playing together at one time. I made a video of just the mantas because it was such a highlight of a lifetime. It is less than 2 minutes long but gives you a good idea of what fun diving with the mantas can be like. [youtube.com link] We were on the Mermaid 2 and found the value for the money to be well worth it. The accommodations are basic and nothing on the boat would rate luxury status but it is comfortable and clean. The crew are attentive and the food was very good. They had a massage therapist on board that provides a wonderful relaxing massage for only 25 dollars! Overall I would highly recommend this liveaboard.
