Manta Bowl is the premier dive site in the Ticao Pass, a submerged shoal that serves as a cleaning and feeding station for reef manta rays. The currents can be very strong, so divers often use reef hooks to stay in place and watch the show.

Features

A submerged reef in a high-current channel. This is one of the most reliable places in the Philippines to see reef manta rays. Divers navigate between several cleaning stations on the shoal. Whale sharks are also frequent visitors.
