We paid for a snorkeling trip, the trip included one water bottle, food, towel and 3 spots snorkel. They didn’t give us towels, no food, and we just did 1 spot because the trip went wrong… the second spot, there was too much current, the guide didn’t give importance to that, he went to the water the first, don’t waiting anyone! One girl didn’t know to swim (was the first time she was in the sea), one guy just went almost out of the bay because of the current, lucky that another guy(a client, he was a professional surfer) went swimming to where he was and saved him (he was almost against the rocks out the bay), and the other people had to grab to another boat. They didn’t know how to maneuver the boat, the live preserver was not attached to any rope… so many things wrong and didn’t apologise for anything. At least we saw mantas…

Amazing diving! Highly recommend it! Equipment was really good, almost new. My dive guide was very friendly, professionell and always helping with equipment. The boot was next to the diving center, and the crew also very friendly. We were only 5 people on the boat, I was the only diver and it was my most relaxed dive from a boat. We went to Manta and Chrystal bay were I dived with huge manta rays, turtles and thousands of fish like huge stone fish and even a wobbegong shark. Go with manta dive and you will enjoy great diving!

The dive centre is very small which makes for very good and relaxing diving. The guide (Mangose) was very good and took us to some cool places. Even saw the mantas, when the odds were low... Lunch and water was included. Food was alright. Because of the small scale of the centre it is handy to have some diving-gear yourself, since there is not an unlimited supply of gear at hand. We would really go back to this place!

Save yourself some time and nerves and pick another dive Center. They charged me an extra 100k IDR only to drop me off at a different dive center. Turned out they hadn’t even asked and there was nothing available for that day. I had already payed the full price so I ended up diving the next day. Which kinda messed up with what I had originally planned. The divecenter they dropped me off at was great though. So if you can, just go to Temple Dive directly.
