Dive with Manta Rays
The diving experience in Komodo is elevated by the presence of majestic manta rays, making each dive unforgettable. Their graceful movements and curious nature capture the hearts of divers from all over the world.
At Komodo National Park, manta ray sightings are common, particularly around the dive sites Mawan and Karang Makassar, accessible to divers of all levels. These gentle giants are a highlight for underwater explorers and provide an awe-inspiring encounter each time.
In 2017, manta rays were classified under the Mobulid Rays family, specifically the species Mobula Alfredi and Mobula Birostris. Known fondly as Alfredis, these reef mantas can grow wingspans up to 5 meters and are known for their graceful, filter-feeding habits.
A recent study estimated an aggregation of over 1,085 reef manta rays in the waters of Komodo National Park, a testament to the richness of this marine paradise.
