Hi! How r the conditions at Manta Point (usually)? Will there be strong currents & low temp like Crystal Bay? Would love to meet some mantas but don't want to endanger myself...
Will be at Bali in the 1st few days of Aug, 4 days of diving.

What was the weather like? It's rainy season, right? Did it rain during day or only at night?

here's a manta from manta point...

the manta in the photo is actually huge, many time bigger than my wife!

i've been to manta point a few times.. always been mantas there. conditions - no currents, shallow (15-30ft), surgy. usually cooler temps.

bali boats are famous for coming up with excuses for not going where they don't want to go, lol
