Manta Point - Raja Ampat (Dec 06)

The most spectacular site to see Mantas in Raja Ampat is here in Manta Point. This site is merely 15m deep but current can be really strong. The stronger the current the more Mantas you will see.



The dive I did was of moderate current. Water temperature is pretty bearable with a 3/2mm suit. In the middle of the sandy bottom, stood a large boulder where the Mantas will get themsels clean. There are atleast 8 Mantas in this dive, frolicking with each other. Most mantas are black and they are not shy to swim over your head. We spend almost an hour in the water. This is one awesome place I will remember for a long long time.
