About Bodu Hithi Manta Point
Bodu Hithi Manta Point is a seasonal manta cleaning station in North Male Atoll with a boat-planned, intermediate profile and a strong chance of large-animal encounters when the station is active. The site works best during the northeast monsoon, when reef manta rays, sharks, turtles, eagle rays, and colorful reef fish move through the station. It is a current-aware dive that rewards patient positioning and calm observation more than reef cruising.
