About Boulari Plateau Manta
Boulari Plateau Manta is a boat-access drift dive in the Boulari pass, where a reef plateau draws manta rays to a cleaning station and turns the current into the main feature of the dive. The route stays open and moving, with grey reef sharks, jacks, octopus, and moray eels appearing as the drift slides past the reef edge. Plan it with an operator and a clean boat window, because this is a marine-reserve pass where timing and current control the whole experience.
