Manta Ray Tie

Scuba diving or Freediving to see Manta Ray has been a popular tourist attraction in Raja Ampat islands of West Papua. This archipelago has got the highest marine biodiversity in the world. Ecotourism has been considered as the most suitable scheme for empowering local people and preserving the environment. People who watch manta ray must respect the animals by not swimming too close to the fish. It is important to keep a safe distance from Manta as they are moving around the place that they regularly visit called Manta Point or Cleaning Station. Here, while they glide around the site, small fish clean their bodies by eating the dirts that attach on their bodies. With cleaner wings, they will be able to move faster in the water.
