There are places to dive with manta ray across the globe, but when it comes to diving with manta rays in the Maldives, the best place to find them is at one of the many manta ray cleaning station Maldives, where the mantas gather to have the plankton removed from their grills by smaller fish. One of the best known cleaning stations is the Dhigu Thila cleaning station in the South Male Atoll. At this cleaning station and others, divers generally find a good place to rest – usually on the seabed (as long as there’s no coral – and just relax underwater while watching the manta rays go through their cleaning ritual.
