Dayang

Also known as: Manta Dayang

Dayang sits at the mouth of one of the scenic bays on the north-west coast of Batanta. Reef mantas visit a cleaning station here, depending on the tide and the time of day. The site is fairly shallow, reaching about 15 m, and currents of one to two knots are reported. Besides the mantas, divers find wobbegong sharks, ribbon eels, ghost pipefish and unusual nudibranchs.
