The new legislation now enforces full, nationwide protection for both manta species across Indonesia. To protect these giant rays still further, Dive Worldwide has added a conservation holiday to its portfolio in association with the Manta Trust that monitors the mantas off the Micronesian island of Yap.
A 14-day trip costs from ?5,385 per person based on two sharing including flights, transfers, and 12 nights? lodge/liveaboard accommodation, plus a donation of ?100 to the Manta Trust.
