Lankan Manta Point
Boat-accessed manta station on North Malé Atoll
Popular North Malé manta site with seasonal cleaning-station action, boat transfers, and current-sensitive positioning for guided dives.
About Lankan Manta Point
Boat-accessed outer-reef manta site on North Malé Atoll, built around two cleaning stations on a gently sloping reef. Divers drop in, settle slightly away from the station, and wait for seasonal manta passes while cleaner wrasse work the coral blocks. Current can shape the exact position, so the dive rewards calm buoyancy, a patient pace, and a guide who knows when to hold, shift, or abort the drop.
