Punta Catalina
★★★★☆
(50)
Punta Catalinas is located on the south point of the Catalinas Islands. It’s the main site where Oceanic Manta Rays can be seen in the winter months. The site slopes down to about 30m/100ft if you swim out a bit.
Manta Rays in the right season! Devil rays, eagle rays, white tip reef sharks, moray eels...When conditions are good this dive site is one of our favorites.
