StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Manta Point, off Bali's coast, is exactly what the name suggests: a reliable spot for encountering reef manta rays. We generally drift over a rocky reef and sandy patches, scanning the cleaning stations for mantas gliding in. The site is relatively shallow and straightforward, making it a good option for newer divers keen to see these magnificent creatures. Just be prepared for other dive boats, as it’s a popular spot.
