The best places to dive with rays

The best places to dive with rays

Getting up close with a manta ray is every diver’s dream. These majestic, elegant yet peaceful animals glide easily through the ocean and make up for a truly magical experience that you will never forget. Manta rays can grow up to 7 meters and live at least 50 years. Although these gentle giants can be found in many places around the globe, they prefer warmer, tropical waters like the Indo-Pacific. Some favourable dive sites where you’ll have higher chances to swim with these graceful creatures, are the Socorro Island in Mexico, Kona in Hawaii and Raja Ampat in Indonesia.
