Lily manta point

This dive site is centered around a beautiful, untouched coral block located at a depth of 19 meters, surrounded by vast stretches of sand. It serves as a natural cleaning station for reef mantas, attracting them with an abundance of cleaner wrasses. Divers can position themselves on the sandy bottom to observe these majestic creatures gracefully approaching and departing from the cleaning station without disturbing the delicate corals or the mantas' natural behavior. There is no specific history or story provided for this site, but its pristine condition suggests careful preservation. The main attraction here is undoubtedly the reef manta rays, which frequent the coral block to be cleaned by the resident cleaner wrasses. Beyond the mantas, the site is teeming with all sorts of colorful coral fishes, stingrays, and eagle rays. The coral block itself is vibrant and healthy, showcasing a wide variety of corals that provide a rich habitat for smaller marine life. To ensure a rewarding experience and to avoid startling the manta rays, divers are advised to maintain a respectful distance from the cleaning station and refrain from swimming around excessively. The best time to visit for manta sightings typically aligns with the specific manta season in the South Ari Atoll, generally from November to May. This site is also highly suitable for freedivers and snorkelers who wish to witness the mantas closer to the surface.
