Trip Report: Raja4Divers

[xariatay]

Food = fresh local produce, cooked in local style, sometimes spaghetti n such. Breakfast got monotonous, we enjoyed the lunches n dinners & the freshly baked cookies for tea breaks -amazing things the cooks do without the electric oven!
Not sure if they offer massage service now...

too bad, we can't access wordpress sites from here
anyway, we'll be going to R4 end of this year, no chance to rob the bank so will stay with Kri.

Thanks for the trip report. Unfortunately FB would not let me open your photos which is what I really want to see.
This place really does seem to be as close to paradise as I could imagine.

I'm an idiot!! I forgot to log into facebook before I clicked onto your tab!!!
Great photos!
Only thing missing were a few shots of the resort itself.
How long did it take you to get from the resort to Manta Sandy?

Less than 30mins to Manta Sandy.
I think the resort's photos are very authentic https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.338488516225149.79164.109001309173872&type=3, the resort is beautiful.

About Manta Sandy: They (probably Kri, since it has been there longest) has put in place a "fence" made of stones & broken corals around the cleaning station. Divers rest on the sand & view the mantas getting cleaned, from 15 to 20m away (estimated distant)... Visibility could be poor on a cloudy day, or the tide/current is not right? Snorkelling friend reported that she was very close to the mantas... Mantas occasionally ventured out of the "fence" to "buzz" the divers... Some scoffed at the site, liken it to the zoo... But we had been told that the other groups hadn't had much luck July to Sept 2011, guess luck is important... Good Luck!!!
