Truly awesome. Definitely a reason to dive Hawaii.

We had 4 show up when we did the dive in July. Great pictures! I look at the pictures my buddy took from that dive all the time...what an awesome experience!

We actually did this dive on two different nights. We love to night dive anyhow and wanted to make sure we had every opportunity to see the Mantas.

They did not disappoint.

The dive operator we used - Does two dives - a late PM dive and the Manta night dive. The thing I enjoyed most was seeing several Mantas on the first dive simply crusing over the reef.

It was like kids hanging out around the kitchen waiting for dinner.
