Did two dives at Ulua today - first one with my daughter - so no camera. As we got out on the second reef we spotted a Manta Ray !!! It was close enough to get a good look but it didnt stay around.. I was in awe as was my daughter. Lots of turtles at what I am guessing is the cleaning station (left side of the reef). On the way back we saw a spotted eagle ray. Unfortunately at that point my daughter was having some mask leakage problems and didnt see the eagle ray.
I took her back to shore, changed out tanks and went back out with my camera. Saw the eagle ray on the second reef and did a couple still shots and then some video (with my still camera, so nothing fancy). Followed the eagle around for a while and it let me back over to the turtle cleaning station. Only one turtle there at that time. Hung around and took some pics of the turtle.
The eagle ray appeared again on my way back and I got pretty close. Having only seen an eagle ray on a dive once before, I was captivated....
Two great dives..
