Manta Block (Madi Gaa) is a shallow manta cleaning station roughly 12-13 m deep on a sandy bottom inside the northern channel of Rasdhoo Atoll, well separated from the better-known Madivaru Corner on the atoll's eastern edge. Reef manta rays slip into the atoll through the north channel to be cleaned, mainly between about November and April, and the shallow depth makes it accessible even to entry-level divers.
