Deciding between Blue Manta in mid July vs Mermaid I in mid August... anyone has direct comparison between the 2 boats and specifically in Komodo? Blue Manta in mid July is Komodo only (6 nights) and Mermaid I in mid August starts from Bali and returns to Bali (9 nights), so a bit less time in Komodo itself (I think only 4 full days, so 15-16 dives) but goes to Saleh Bay for the whale sharks. BM is a larger boat and I guess more stable and I read quiter and I read Mermaid can be noisy - we are considering main deck cabins... (I am a light sleeper)... appreciate any comments/recommendations... also does mid July vs mid August make any difference in terms on diving/sighting/current?
