Diver's Notes

Manta night dive! probably a dozen ships gathered, laid lights to attract plankton... and mantas!
6 Mantas gave us an amazing show full of flybys and summersaults cruising a few inches from us!
At the end of the dive it got a bit chilly, since we stayed on our knees for so long not moving, but the spectacle the mantas gave us was out of this world!
