Komodo snorkeling tips to meet the manta ray

Snorkeling is not as dangerous as diving, but snorkeling lovers still have to be careful. Some tips for snorkeling lovers:

Checking snorkeling equipment

As with diving activities, tourists must check snorkeling equipment such as masks and fins. If needed, you can use a life jacket to keep it floating on the water. Try to use a life jacket, mask, and fins that are suitable for body size so as not to interfere with movement on the water.

The direction of the water flow

Sometimes, tourists do not realize they are carried away because of the fun interacting with manta rays. Strong currents in the water should make you extra careful. Not paying attention to the direction of the current can make you tired. Make sure you swim with the current and don’t fight. You will save energy and play with manta rays.

Swim slowly and calmly

Getting close to manta rays can be very difficult. Why? Because the movement we cause will make them move away. The tip is to swim slowly towards the manta rays. Don’t make any sudden movements that could push them away.

Exploring Manta Point

As the name suggests, Manta point is a gathering place for manta rays. There are many manta rays that you can find here.
