Gliding through the waters in smooth, majestic movements and bearing similarities to a spectacle similar to those one is used to seeing in sci-fi movies, manta rays offer a truly awe-inspiring sight. The Maldives is one of the best destinations to see these fascinating creatures and those interested in diving should look to stay at Maldives luxury resorts such as Baros Maldives. Apart from Maldives villa accommodation, this luxurious resort provides dive site excursions that let you see the very best of the country’s marine life.
Due to the high amount of plankton in the waters around the Maldives, manta rays frequent several areas of the country giving divers a unique chance to see these creatures in their natural habitat. May to November is generally the best time to see them and there are several sites that are known to attract manta rays. Hanifaru Bay is one of the premier sites to see mantas and as they congregate here in hunt for food. Another site that is quite well known is Rasfari Manta Point which is well worth exploring too. A variety of sites can be found in the Ari Atoll and North Male Atoll and give you a chance to see these striking ocean creatures along with a diverse array of other marine life.
