Manta Sandy

A sandy plateau with scattered coral bommies off the south coast of Gam Island, close to Mansuar Island. One of Raja Ampat's most established reef manta ray cleaning stations, with mild-to-moderate current that makes it accessible to less experienced divers than most Dampier Strait sites.
