About Maavaru Manta Point
Maavaru Manta Point is a North Ari Atoll reef cleaning station that draws divers for close manta-ray passes and steady pelagic action. The site is reached by boat from Mathiveri, with a short guided transfer to an open-water reef point where mantas, eagle rays, and reef fish gather around the cleaning zone. Plan it as a seasonal boat dive rather than a shore entry, and let the operator time the run to the conditions. Occasional dolphins and reef sharks can add to the day when the ocean is active.
