Reef · Shore

A natural sandy amphitheatre at 10–12 m where divers settle around a "campfire" of upward-pointing lights that attract plankton; the plankton draw reef manta rays in for barrel-rolling feeding passes inches above divers’ heads. Probably the world’s most reliable manta encounter — known as Garden Eel Cove by day and Manta Heaven by night.
