Manta Point

Manta Point is a shallow reef dive site in Komodo National Park, Indonesia, accessed from Labuan Bajo, and is the most reliable manta ray site in the park — divers come specifically for close, repeated manta encounters at cleaning stations rather than for broader reef-life variety. Entry is typically made around 8–10 metres from a small island, and dives remain at depths generally no deeper than about 15 metres, making this the most approachable of Komodo's four signature sites for less experienced divers.

The terrain is a reef drifted over rather than explored vertically, with mantas feeding and passing through cleaning stations throughout the dive; the maximum recorded depth is 16.5 metres and the shallowest entry point sits at roughly 8 metres. Current is present but typically more moderate here than at the park's seamount sites, though drift conditions are consistent enough that Advanced Open Water certification and comfort with drift diving are generally expected.

Manta rays are the defining species, with reliable sightings the reason most divers make the trip; the site also holds eagle rays, tuna, barracuda, snapper, and angelfish, and Mola mola have been recorded here as well.
