:shocked2: My wife and I were at Buddy dive 8/18 thru 8/25 and on Wednesday had the fantastic opportunity to see our first Manta Ray! We both celebrated out 100th dive at Buddys during the week and while we did not sight the Manta on the hundredth dive, we did at least see it during the week of it. We were at 65 feet just north of Buddy Dive, almost to the Lamachaca wreck when we both saw it coming at us, just below our depth. I quick snapped the following pictures, as he(she) was moving fast. We were awstruck, screaming in our regulators at our fantastic luck.

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. We were in Bonaire just before you - August 10-17th. My husband and son saw the Manta just down from where you were - at Carib Inn - on the 11th, and then I saw him (her) at Alice in Wonderland. We'd never seen themm on the east before. I was so awed I couldn't get my act together in time to get the picture! So I'm glad I can enjoy yours.
 
What great fortune for you! Congrats on the 100th dives :D

Thanks for sharing the pics with us...LUCKY you!
