My wife and I will be diving around Maui next week. Ten days on the island. Any thoughts on a quick trip to Kona for the mantas? Is there a way to make it an affordable overnight trip? Please make recommendations. Many thanks.
I've been wanting to post about the trip I took to Misool for a while now-
A group of four dive buddies traveled from Jacksonville, Fl to Sorong to catch a boat to Misool on October 12th. This is that adventure:
Two of my dive buddies had traveled to Misool pre-Covid with their wives and liked...
Dove in Manta Point, Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia, on 13 August, 2023. Water temperature was 20C (68F). Saw several mantas including the Darth Vader (Black Manta).
I visited Yap for a two week stay in late January 2023. While I had been there before, that was more than 20 years ago. Yap was basically closed off from the world for 2 1/2 years due to Covid travel restrictions before beginning to re-open in mid-late 2022. Given how long the island was...

"The adult female manta (F171 Simone) seen dead in the video was first identified early December 2018. She was seen regularly around German Channel since cleaning and feeding, so it is unlikely she died from natural causes.
A Japanese liveaboard was first on the scene early morning Jan 30, and...

In 2018, after a 15-year absence, giant "oceanic" manta rays returned to la Reina, a small islet in the sea of Cortez, Mexico.
The islet of la Reina is also home to a colony of sea lions, who would often swim up to the manta rays, and interact with these new and elegant visitors...

It's been 7 years since I last dived the stunning reefs of Cabilao and wondered what they would like like.
And yes, Cabilao is still as diverse, lush and healthy as before, with lots of fish life - from pygmy sea horses to...Mantas!
Here are a few first impressions, thanks for watching!
We had one day to dive in Nusa Penida on 20-Sep-2019. What a fine diving that was turned out to be. We saw 2 Mantas at Manta Point, 4 Mola Molas and a Thresher Shark at Blue Corner. Some divers even saw Great White Shark at Crystal Bay. :D
Check out this video :)
no matter how often you've seen Manta rays before, the Big Island Kona night dive is still something that stands out.
They come extremely close, just cms, inches away from our heads, we could feel the thrust of their wings! When 4 Mantas were around us, it became an awe-inspiring experience!
