Vakkaru Manta Point
★★★★☆
(98)
More of a typical Maldivian manta site i.e. a block on a sandy area and manta rays that may or may not use the block as a cleaning station. The sloping reef is between 5 and 15m guarded and offers many small fish a home. On the huge sandy area at 20m we also find stingrays.
Eagle rays, stingrays, napoleon, scorpion fish, moray eels, shrimps and at the right time manta rays.
