Manta Point Bangaram
Bangaram · India
Outer-reef site on the eastern edge of Bangaram Atoll, the most dived spot in Lakshadweep. The reef top sits at 6 m and slopes to 23 m, with cleaning stations on the deeper bommies where reef manta rays show up in November and December. Snappers, big eye trevally and yellowfin tuna patrol the drop off; whitetip and grey reef sharks pass on most dives. Visibility is exceptional outside the southwest monsoon.
