    Paradise Manta Point, true to its name, is a reliable spot for encountering reef mantas. We’ve found they tend to visit this particular cleaning station more frequently than some others in North Malé, especially during the southwest monsoon from May to November. Currents can be moderate, so it’s best suited for divers comfortable with a drift. Expect to spend your dive observing these gentle giants circling above the reef.
