About this site
Flying Manta lies off the eastern coast of Tobago, in the section of the Caribbean shaped by Atlantic currents sweeping past the island's exposed side. This part of Tobago's coastline is known generally for strong currents and nutrient-rich water drawn up from the Guiana Current system, which draws in larger pelagic species along this stretch. The site sits within reach of dive operators based around Speyside and Charlotteville, the two hubs that service eastern Tobago's dive sites. It is rated an advanced dive, reflecting the current conditions typical of this side of the island.
