Manta Rays Decided to Take a Day Off - BALI INDONESIA

(click here for my diving catalogue)

TOYAPAKAH  means salt water in Indonesian. During late summer – November it is often possible to spot mola mola in this area. Located near the small fishing village of Toyapakah, this dive site is the home of the Quicksilver aqua platform and day water sport centre. Divers here will enjoy amazing coral and healthy reef.

MANTA POINT is a cleaning station for the local giant mantas. The plankton rich waters can attract many mantas, sometimes up to 10 at a time. The Mantas are often curious and will swoop down to get a closer look at divers. It can be the dive of a lifetime, if you see the Mantas dancing!  Sometimes other larger marine life can be spotted here as well with reports of the occasional Nurse shark, Bamboo Shark and sunfish.

Dive Site: Manta Point / Nusa Penida

That's all I have from Manta Point, unfortunately, during the time we dove the Manta Rays decided to hide.  I wasnt able to see any single Manta Rays but everything else is beautiful.  I saw a lot of star fish and beautiful corals.


Its a boat dive, if you get easily sea sick, please lots of medicine.  All dives are back roll water entry.
