Lankanfinolhu Faru, a popular dive site in the Maldives is also known by some as Manta Point, due to the frequent Manta Ray visitors seen at this site by scuba divers.  Other marine life common here are turtles, wrasse and several types of moray eels.

 Lankanfinolhu Faru ranges in depth from 40 to 130 feet, and throughout the site there are spectacular coral formations. The manta rays swim up to the shallower depths of the site to be cleaned – small fish swim through the manta rays’ gills and remove the plankton.  The manta ray cleaning process can last about 20 minutes, and if you hang out quietly, you will not disturb these amazing rays.
