Manta Point

This dive site, known as Manta Point, is highly recommended for beginners and for those experiencing their first boat dive. It features a shallow, sandy seabed that is dotted with numerous coral 'patates' (bommies). Divers typically begin their experience from an anchored boat, descending into the gentle currents to observe the site's main attraction. The site is primarily famous for its manta ray cleaning station, where these large pelagics come to be deparasitised. The primary marine life attraction here are the majestic oceanic manta rays, which can reach impressive wingspans of up to 5 meters. These gentle giants are seen regularly, offering spectacular encounters. While the focus is heavily on the manta rays, the coral patates also host a variety of smaller reef fish and other associated invertebrate life, contributing to the overall ecological interest of the site. Manta Point offers an excellent experience for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its shallow average depth of 5 meters and a maximum depth of 11 meters. It is particularly suitable for snorkeling as well. While the text doesn't specify a best time to visit, manta rays are typically found year-round in these waters, making it a reliable destination for sightings. Divers are advised to approach the manta rays respectfully to ensure these interactions remain natural and undisturbed.
