Mahibadhoo Manta Rock

Also known as: Mahibadhoo Rock · Mahibadhoo Thila · Mahibadhoo Rock (Manta Point)

The cleaning station lies where the channel slope meets a plateau at about 8 to 10 metres. Between roughly May and November or December, many reef mantas come in on outgoing currents to be cleaned and to feed. Whitetip reef sharks, sweetlips and snappers are common, and macro life includes leaf fish and halimeda ghost pipefish. Strong currents can reduce visibility to around 10 metres.
