Manta Point (Nosy Be)

Local operators run a deeper offshore bank west of Nosy Be under the name Manta Point, dived mainly in the spring season when plankton draws big filter feeders to the area. Mantas visit its cleaning stations, though far less predictably than at famous stations elsewhere in this ocean — this is a hopeful dive rather than a scheduled appointment, and honest shops sell it that way. The bank itself holds reef sharks on some days, passing eagle rays, and solid fish life over the coral heads. Details in print about the site are thin; treat depths and conditions as the operator briefs them.

Địa hình: Offshore reef bank with cleaning-station coral heads

Dòng chảy: An exposed outer bank; operators time it around the calmer dry-season windows.

Nguy hiểm cần lưu ý: Open-water exposure and current on the bank.

Bảo tồn: Standard manta-station etiquette applies on the days it pays off: low, still, and out of the animals' lane.

Nitrox: Đáng dùng ở đây — các hồ sơ nằm trong khoảng độ sâu mà nitrox có thể kéo dài thời gian không dừng một cách thực sự có ý nghĩa (khi đã được đào tạo sử dụng).
