Manta Ray Madness is a renowned dive site located off the coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, famous for its nighttime manta ray encounters. Divers can observe these gentle giants as they feed on plankton attracted by lights.

The dive typically takes place at night, where divers use lights to attract plankton, creating a feeding frenzy for manta rays. The experience is both thrilling and serene, as divers float in the water while manta rays glide gracefully around them.
