Manta Ray is a environmental
resort catering from the young to the older travellers.
Situated on its own Island in the Yasawa Island chain

thrives around great reefs and water sports to go with

Manta Rays that inhabit the channels around the resort.
Different styles of accomodation is avaiable from Dormitory

drink, explore the marine reserve located directly off
the beach, or visit the local village, our Fijian resort
offers the perfect combination. We boast some of the best
snorkelling and sea kayaking Fiji has to offer, and with
over 40 dives sites within 25 minutes of the resort, the
Mantaray Dive team will guide you through one of the world’s

Diving
at Mantaray
Stunning
coral gardens, spectacular swim throughs, amazing reef
walls and over a thousand species of marine life are just
some of the things you're likely to experience diving
in the Yasawa's.
Mantaray
Island Resort is located 70km from the mainland and is
the only dive operator in the Naviti group of the Yasawa's.
Over 40 dive sites are accessible within 20 minutes cruising
from the resort. Having such a large variety of dives
sites ensure divers are able to continue to enjoy pristine
marine environments with very little or no impact from
other divers.
Whether
you are a complete novice , or looking to complete an
instructors qualification, we'll ensure you enjoy your
diving in a safe and comfortable environment.
With
all the dive sites here off Mantaray Island Resort, there's
plenty for every level of ability, certification and experience.
Whether you've done 600 dives or have just passed your
Open Water Course, there's plenty for you to choose from
and it doesn’t matter if you’re an early bird,
a late riser, or a night owl - we're ready for you whenever
you want to hit the water! We do a single or two tank
dive in the morning, an additional afternoon dive(s) if
required, and night dives are available on request. All
dives are guided by a local diver to navigate you through
the dive site, pointing out creatures or items of interest.
If you haven't dived in a while, or still feel a little
inexperienced you may want to consider doing a beach dive
and/or, having an Instructor with you to ease yourself
back in. We can update your skills, and do a short refresher
to bring you back up to date.
As many as 7,000 different fish species live on coral
reefs or nearby inshore habitats, with up to maybe 300
different types inhabiting a small plot of reef. Fiji
also has a couple of residents unique only to Fiji, including
the Bicolour Rabbitfish, and Black Rabbitfish with gentle
eyes but sharp dorsal spines it can raise if threatened.
This Rabbitfish has a yellow tail and is rarely seen out
of a pair.
The
Yasawa group of islands has fewer crowds and fewer dive
boats. This chain of ancient volcanic islands offers excellent
corals, pristine reefs and good visibility, not to mention
some superb topside backdrops.
With
over 40 dive sites available at Mantaray Island Resort,
we'll always find the perfect dive for you.
Mantaray
offers daily 1 and 2 tank dives, night dives and dive
classes including Introductory Dives, Advanced, Stress
and Rescue and Divemaster.
