Manta Ray Heaven, Garden Eel Cove
★★★★★
(826)
Manta Heaven is one of three typical spots where dive operators out of Kona take divers for the famous manta ray night dives. Get ready for the show of a lifetime as huge manta rays swoop right over head at these cleaning stations while you circle around a single light source that attracts them.
This dive is all about the huge manta rays! You may also see some eagle rays that come in the mix and some nice coral.
