Manta Heaven is a renowned dive site on the Big Island of Hawaii, famous for its night dives where divers can observe manta rays feeding on plankton attracted by lights. The site offers a unique opportunity to interact with these gentle giants in their natural habitat.

Diving at Manta Heaven typically involves a night dive where divers position themselves on the sandy bottom and use lights to attract plankton, which in turn attracts manta rays. The experience is mesmerizing as these large creatures glide gracefully overhead.
