Manta Point
About Manta Point
Also known as Karang Makassar, Manta Point is a large, shallow drift dive area in Komodo National Park, roughly 3 km long and 400–500 m wide. It features a coral reef section to the south, sandy dunes to the north, and a rubble-coral bottom in between. The site is known for manta cleaning stations scattered across the area, with opportunities to see manta rays year-round thanks to a resident population in Komodo.
