Heads up if doing Kona in the next little bit... the manta dive is hopping.

That tiger was on the dusk dive, not the manta dive

wow, 23 mantas, thats incredible, I wish I could have seen that

 

[friscuba]

The record didn't hold very long.... 24 mantas tonight. I Captained tonight so I didn't get to see it, but even all the DM's were hyped at the boat washdown area afterwards.

Too bad we can't guarantee this kind of action.

 

[LioKai]

Incredible! I can't wait for Sunday night.

 

[Cacia]

well, we could use some pictures right about now or any time.....

 

[LioKai]

OK, so being the captain means I haven't had the oportunity to be the DM on the manta dive in about a year.... but I was the DM last night (sunday), and we had 15 mantas. All I can say is it was overwhelming.

Not allowed to carry a camera while I work underwater so no pics from me, sorry.

 

[friscuba]

I'll throw up a couple of old pics from a couple of years ago just to give people an idea of how close the viewing is.

@#$&%*@# ..... we saw nada on our Manta dive a few years ago .... but the coffee was excellent.

Someone on the manta list said 28 was the final count on 4/14...I can't imagine how you'd keep them straight

They count the same ones over and over . . . . (j/k)
