Manta Ray Bay
★★★★☆
(147)
Famous for it’s Maori Wrasse “GEORGE“, giant trevallies and batfish, this popular bay is suitable for shallow dives around a maze of bommies with the possibility of diving the outskirts 14-16m, or drop down the steep slope to 30m and maybe get lucky with some whitetip reefsharks. Checkout the Mantaray statues.
George, the resident maori wrasse alongside masses of fusiliers, giant trevallies and batfish. Good spot for nudibranchs and all sorts of reef fish, moray eels etc.
