About Manta Point
Manta Point is a shallow reef on the south side of Gili Trawangan built around coral gardens, bommies, and an easy, scenic profile. Reef sharks, turtles, sweetlips, batfish, cuttlefish, octopus, stingrays, and occasional manta rays make it a good all-around marine-life dive, while the shallow slope keeps the site friendly for relaxed scuba and calm-day snorkeling. Current is usually light, though surge can show up, so the dive is more about slow reef exploration than pushing depth or technical skill.
