Manta Point, Komodo

Komodo

Manta Point Komodo is a shallow plateau a few kilometres long in central Komodo. The cleaning stations are around 10–15 m. The current is gentle to moderate, so the dive is often a slow drift, and snorkelling is also possible.

Mantas are here through the year. The largest groups are often from December to February, inside a September to May window. On a quiet day they can be somewhere else. Eagle rays and turtles often come with them. Do not sit in a ray path and do not touch one.
