About This Dive Spot
Manta Point is a dive site known for its cleaning stations frequented by oceanic manta rays (Mobula birostris) and reef mantas (Mobula alfredi). Divers can observe these majestic creatures, each with unique colors and spot patterns, as they perform their graceful movements. The dive begins with a descent into the blue waters at the confluence of currents, which is essential for reaching the cleaning station. This site is recommended for experienced divers due to the strong currents and the depth at which the mantas are typically found.
