About This Dive Site
A horseshoe bay on Penida’s exposed south-west coast where reef manta rays queue at cleaning stations on coral bommies, Manta Point delivers reliable encounters year-round. Surface conditions can be rough thanks to Indian Ocean swell, but mantas regularly hover at 5–15 m for divers and snorkellers alike.
