The Maldives is one of the worlds hotspots for manta
ray activity and is home to the largest and most studied populations on the
planet. In fact, this archipelago is one of the best places to visit if you
want to enjoy diving with mantas. But you might like to know that there is a
precise relation between the location you intend visiting and the period of the
year you choose.
The reason is that manta rays are filter feeders and
eat huge amounts of plankton. While planning your trip, it is important to
understand which is the right location to meet mantas, depending on the time of
the year.
A haven of natural tranquility, Olhuveli Beach &
Spa Maldives is a top destination for seeing some of the worlds rarest sea
creatures. Until November, enjoy the manta ray season, offering divers,
snorkelers and even dry-land spectators an even greater chance of spotting one
of natures unusual creatures.
They thrive in the Maldives waters. Especially during
the summer months when the higher level of plankton in the water and prevailing
winds and currents of the hot weather entice rays of all sizes to migrate to
Olhuvelis tempting shores. One of the most exciting experiences Olhuveli
offers with manta rays is seeing them from the jetty at dusk, when its
spotlights entice shoals of frenzied fishy activity.
These muscular creatures flip in and out of the water.
A wonderful experience for those wanting to watch natures theatre played out
to the backdrop of a perfect sunset.
To snorkel or dive with manta rays is an almost
indescribable experience. They move through the water with such grace, gently
soaring through the turquoise lagoons, over reefs bursting with life. It is
truly a magical feeling to see these creatures fly through the water. Manta
Rays are inquisitive by nature and if you can control your excitement and
remain still, the rays will swim around you with tremendous elegance.
