Keauhou Bay, also known as Manta Village, is a renowned dive site located on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is famous for its nighttime manta ray encounters, where divers can observe these majestic creatures feeding in the illuminated waters.

The dive typically takes place at night, where divers are positioned near lights set up on the ocean floor to attract plankton, which in turn attracts manta rays. The site features a sandy bottom with some rocky outcrops, providing a habitat for various marine life.
