Manta Corner Diving down 90 feet or so off Dampier Head, a rugged point named after the 17th-century adventurer William Dampier, you can often encounter manta rays, whose bird-like gracefulness belies their enormous size (wingspans of ten feet are not uncommon). Mantas here often accompany divers for the duration of a dive. (back to map of Cocos Island) Photo: from La Isla del Coco by Christopher Weston.
