Manta Parade - Derawan Islands

Manta Parade in the Derawan Islands is exactly what it sounds like. We’ve seen mantas cruise through here, often in groups, feeding in the current. It’s a drift dive, so you just go with the flow, watching the show. Best for divers comfortable with currents, and keen to spend some time with these gentle giants.
