launched on bcyber's Emmy-Lou.
first dive just south of Honolulu's Reef-Runway:
spied in the distance what appeared at first
to be a long torpedo shaped fish..
maybe a Wahoo (Ono)?
but as it got closer..
realized it was the tufted curl of an 8 foot Manta's cephalic lobe!
as the Manta approached even closer..
it tilted for a turn and exposed its underside spots:
here's some video too!
only my fourth Manta in as many years!
(not news to Big Isle nor Maui divers.. but still, rare sighting on Oahu =)
Merry Christmas to me!
and Mele Kaliki Maka to all!
