Madivaru, also known as Manta Point, is a renowned dive site located in the South Ari Atoll of the Maldives. It is famous for the seasonal presence of manta rays, which can be observed during specific months of the year. The site features a variety of marine life and vibrant coral formations, making it a popular destination for divers.

Diving at Madivaru typically involves drifting along the reef where divers can encounter manta rays, various species of fish, and other marine life. The dive usually takes place at a depth where the chances of spotting mantas are highest, often in the blue water away from the reef.
