Tripadvisor reviews
Update:
It was absolutely amazing!
From what I could tell this company is one of the best out on the water, quality. Nevermind that they are a good $20 cheaper then the nearest comparable tour.
Basically, there is one spot in the "Manta village" where tens boats congregate around, and the divers stand on the floor and look up. (This killed the coral BTW)
They end up fighting over the same few mantas, getting mostly flybys.
This company has specially engineered lights (cost $50k) that attract far more plankton then most other's white LED boards, and they go off to the side and "poach" the mantas, which then stay only by them.
Our night the "campfire" had one or 2 by them, but our boat had 3 to ourselves for at least 25 minutes, and a fourth showed for a bit.
They came within millimeters of us tens of times, and I'm pretty sure one brushed me.

They post free underwater pictures of each tour
here.
They had plenty of food and drink on the boat, (kosher snacks as well), and the hot shower as you get out of the water makes the ride back super comfortable.
