Dive Into the Unknown: Discover the Hidden Underwater Paradises That Will Revolutionize Your Next Adventure
The nutrient-rich currents bring over 1,000 species of fish and 250 species of coral…and that’s just below the surface. Jagged mountains, pink sand beaches, and the only habitat for the Komodo dragon are waiting in the islands above. Our four-day liveaboard here was absolutely incredible, so much so that we featured it in our National Geographic Book, Ultimate Journeys for Two. This places is hands down one of the top 10 dive destinations in the world!
Manta Point
We descended into Makassar Reef, where the biiiiig rays come to play and snack on plankton. Hanging out for fifteen minutes along the rocky bottom, we started to doubt its reputation as “Manta Point,” then seemingly on queue this beauty, with a 10-foot wingspan, and a few friends gracefully flew past us. Aside from the mantas, the shallow reef is in good shape with giant trevallies, huge clams, various sponges, and cuttlefish, along with the occasional eagle rays, sharks, and turtles.
