About this site
Manta lies on the central coast of Ecuador in Manabi province, a port city known as a jumping-off point for boats heading toward the offshore waters of the Pacific, including the route out to Isla de la Plata and the Machalilla area. Ureles Reef sits within this coastal stretch of water off Manta, accessed by local dive boats out of the city's harbor.
