Maravagi Village (Three dive sites in one)

A small wall with two abandoned wrecks can be found to the north. Thousands of glassfish, anthias, and damsels live in each of these. A sandy canal runs along the wall, reaching out to the sea. A little field of sapsucker slugs may be found at around 30m — a really unique treat.

Another dive to the east is a magnificent coral garden. You could be lucky enough to view the resident school of bream in the shallows. There are big giant clams a full arm's width long as you walk down the coastline. Then, among the rubble, you'll discover the entrance to multiple peacock mantis shrimp burrows. The patient diver can have a good time with these. The highlight of this section of the reef, though, is the great likelihood of sighting cuttlefish. We've observed up to nine students attending school at the same time.

Finally, Devil's Highway, a short skiff ride away, is home to a tiny resident population of huge manta rays. Because of the high currents that wash over this spot, it is not accessible on every trip. Because the tides, moon phase, and weather must all be in sync, a little luck is necessary. But when we can dive in, it's incredible. You may attach yourself to a corner and watch the mantas jump, leap, and eat at the surface. Simply let go of your hook at the conclusion of the dive and let the water bring you back into Maravagi Bay.
