Addu Atoll The most southern atoll of the Maldives, which is located south of the equator and used to be a British Royal Air Force base. Here are some possible sites you may visit: The Manta Cleaning Station in Maa Kandu is located inside the northern channel at a depth of 17-20 meters.
The British Loyalty is 134 meters long and sits at a depth of 33 meters, lying on its port side.

Everyday morning when the incoming current starts we see a couple of mantas on cleaning stations.
the best thing is we don't have a season for mantas, it's all year round.
