About Manta Point
Manta Point in Komodo National Park is a broad shallow drift site over sand, rubble, and coral where reef and oceanic manta rays gather at cleaning stations. The site is approachable for newer divers with a guide, but it still rewards good buoyancy, steady current awareness, and careful positioning when the water is moving. Boat traffic is common, so plan for a busy, guided dive day rather than a quiet shore entry.
