Dive-site story
Manta Ray Bommie sits off Point Lookout on North Stradbroke Island, forming a series of rocky outcrops that serve as an active cleaning station. Marine life gathers across the rocky reefs and sand gutters, where cleaner wrasse service pelagic visitors. While manta rays dominate during the warmer months, the surrounding channels host resting bottom-dwellers and passing rays throughout the year.
Active cleaning station where manta rays hover quietly over the shallow rock pinnacles
Seasonal aggregations of leopard sharks resting along the protected sandy gullies
Frequent interactions with bull rays, eagle rays, and resident sea turtles
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
