Best Time to See

In the Maldives, there are just two seasons - really called rainstorm, and not seasons. The southwestern or storm Hulhangu (normally and fairly mistakenly known as the blustery season), runs around from May to October. Perfectly catching the Christmas and New Year advertises, the northeastern or storm Iruvai (you may have known about it as a dry season), is more probable among December and March. April and November are momentary periods between these two storms. 


During the southwestern storm, the overarching sea flows in this locale of the Indian Ocean stream from west to east. At the point when these flows arrive at the Maldives archipelago, there is a solid upwelling, an interaction where unadulterated and supplement rich profound waters are uprooted from in excess of 2000 meters of sea floor IN and THROUGH little atolls. As this water moves through atolls from west to east, it upgrades and builds the efficiency of the natural way of life, so when it arrives at the eastern side of the atolls, it is a genuine soup-zooplankton. What's more, think about what: the mantas feed on this zooplankton! 


Along these lines, as of now they will move toward the eastern sides of the atolls, where jumpers and swimmers will be pleased with their moving at the cleaning and taking care of stations. 


The upper east storm alters the course of the flows. Presently they will move from east to west, implies that perceivability will currently be better on the atoll's eastern side (because of the approaching sea ebb and flow), yet less zooplankton, in this way, there are no Manta Rays. Mantas is probably going to be - you got it! - float around the western edges of the atolls. 


In this way, all in all: from May to October it is bound to see the manta beams on the eastern edges of the atolls. From December to March, on the western edges of the atolls. Obviously, the season can change at some point or another at whatever year, and similarly as with anything in nature, there won't ever be any assurance for spotting, however in the event that you adhere to this straightforward principle, you will fundamentally expand your odds!

The Addu (Seenu) Atoll is the southernmost atoll in the Maldives and formed like a heart. It's a remarkable scuba plunging objective. Here, you can spot manta beams all year. Indeed, it's manta paradise and in the relatively recent past in 2015/16 it was still sort of a secret diamond for seeing manta beams!
