'Sunlight Thila' is a formation of two small reefs that attract giant manta rays between March and October when the winds from the south carry a large amount of plankton to this area. Between the reefs lies a 70 meter long sand bottom comprising small coral formations which are home to many cleaner wrasse. During your dive be sure to kneel on the sandy bottom while taking in the performance of the majestic mantas circling above you as they wait their turn to be cleaned by the cleaner wrasse. As it is not uncommon to see ten or more manta rays at a time, this dive has become a major attraction for both beginners and experienced divers.
