Why dive here
Vakkaru Manta Point is a reef dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Vakkaru Manta Point, true to its name, is a reliable spot for manta ray encounters in Baa Atoll. We often find these gentle giants cruising over the reef's cleaning stations, especially during the southwest monsoon. It’s a shallow dive, maxing out at 18 metres, making it ideal for beginners or those looking for an easy, relaxed observation dive. Just drop down and watch the show unfold.
