Manta Bommie is a submerged reef pinnacle (bommie) rising from the floor of Moreton Bay, between the Gold Coast and Brisbane. This offshore site attracts pelagic visitors drawn to the nutrient-rich upwelling around the rocky structure. The bommie's walls drop into deeper channels, offering clear-water encounters with passing marine life in a wild, open-water setting away from crowded inshore beaches.
