Just got back from Yap, Micronesia

Thanks for all the compliments.
Chirs, I did not go through Guam. I went from Bangkok to Manila to Palau to Yap as it was cheaper than going via Manila to Guam to Yap.
It was definitely a manta. The wingspan was about 12ft. Devil ray is much smaller, I think. At least the one I saw in Burma was only had 2-3 ft wingspan. Here is another picture of the same manta.

Sharklover, yep, the sharkfeeding dive was done at Vertigo. There were about 20 grey reefsharks and a couple of blacktips there.

It would be nice not to have those annoying lines in the background but since it is a sharkfeeding dive, I suppose it is ok. I was tempted to photoshop it out but can't be bother
I was just glad that finally I got some decent shark shots!
