Manta Point, Bali, Indonesia
4.5 (69 reviews) Spent Ranking #16 in Denpasar Geologic Formations
Fabolous Dive Spot to see Manta
We have booked a diving trip from Padang Bai, two dives at Nusa Penida with Manta Point our first destination. The conditions were very good, sea pretty calm and the trip across the channel smooth. This dive point is pretty busy with at least 8 boats already there, there was a number of divers in the water, however the site is pretty large so you can find your own spot. After 20 minutes of nervous drifting and thinking that we will be unlucky on the day a flock of 7 mantas went straight in front of us. Two more spotting of a pair of mantas and the dive was over. Majestic place.

A rough boat ride
I go with Atlantis and the dive centre is wonderful with a good instructor following us and helping us during the dive. However the boat ride was very rough and the surge under water made me very sick. We were told manta rays should appear at the cleaning station every day except few days but i did not see any manta in the first 40 mins. Only at the last 5-10 mins the giagantic manta appear like a big 747 slowly gliding down to the reefs. The experience could be more wonderful if i hadn't have seasick. Apparently the strong currents and rough waves are the norms around P. Penida.
