About this site
Manta Point is a reef dive on Aliwal Shoal made up of swim-throughs, gullies and plenty of nooks and crannies, and it works well as a multilevel dive. Crayfish and cleaner shrimp hide in the crevices, while schools of flutemouth, batfish, triggerfish and wrasse move over the reef.
Raggedtooth sharks patrol the gullies and caves in November. Rays of all kinds are found here, with manta rays turning up in season, and the site is graded beginner.
