Manta Sandy, West Papua, Indonesia
4.5 (14 reviews) Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #9 in Raja Ampat Nature & Wildlife Areas
Fantastic
One of the easiest cleaning stations I've dived at. Have a nice sandy area to wait for the mantas to arrive with coral behind you to keep you interested till they do. Sitting at 16meter you can send your hour there easily. About an 30min boat ride from Biodiversity nature resort. Which have excellent dive guides that really have a great knowledge of mantas and how to respect with them. But getting you up close to them in the correct manner, and no harrassment of mantas. Really great place to dive

Great Dive!
We dove Manta Sandy twice during our stay at Papua Paradise Eco Resort. We saw giant mantas both times. The mantas didn't "show up" until nearly the end of the first dive so be patient. However, even without the mantas the dive site has lots of interesting little critters in the sand and around the bommies.

Giant manta cleaning station.
Been lots of places where manta were supposed to be but never had any luck. Saw 5 giant black mantas here on two separate dives in one day hear. Magical.
