ScubaSnorkel

Manta Sandy is one of the most reliable places in Raja Ampat to see reef manta rays. It is a well-established cleaning station on a sandy bottom, where divers can kneel behind a line of rocks and watch as multiple mantas gracefully circle and hover over the coral heads.

Features

A shallow, sandy channel between two reefs that acts as a primary cleaning station for reef mantas. The dive involves settling on the sandy bottom and observing the mantas as they interact with the cleaner wrasse.
