Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Manta Parade offers some of Derawan Islands's richest reef diving.
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.
