If you want to interact with mantas and not just watch them at a cleaning station, then forget the Maldives and Palau, and come here to the Soccoro Islands. If you want a liveaboard with kind, attentive, helpful, and efficient crew members, make sure you book a trip on the Nautilus Explorer. First-rate folks, every one of them. And, of course, there are all the wondrous sea creatures, large and small. It is a marvelous trip, and for me, a spiritual experience.
