Past couple weeks they have been going OFF!!

11, 18, 9, 8, 11 are some numbers from some of the past few nights. No shut outs for a few weeks.

Hope it hold out for two more weeks. I can't wait to be in Kona again!

Donna would just die if she saw a seahorse.ill bet their really rare .
4 divers ....? small boat? we will gett it all sorted out when we get over their see you all in a few days

ps how many mantas have been showing up ?
its the dark moon phase dose'nt that slow things up a bit?

 

[LioKai]

moon has nothing to do with it. The Mantas are still going off big time. Last night had 7 or 8.

Limit the black water dive to 4 divers so it doesn't turn into a tangled mess under the boat. (35' dive boat) This dive ROCKS!!!

 

[Grizz]

Thats good to hear about the Moon I had heard that on a new moon they were not as many dew to low light. but dew to the fact that the mantas are probably conditioned to the boats showing up with all the lights its not a factor ...
how deep is the black water dangel
and do sharks show up? yes maybe?

 

[Wildcard]

I didn't know you did black water! Jacks isnt doing them that weekend. Sign me up!!!! The GF isnt so enthuaastic about it though. She is up for another manta dive though.
Did Donna want to do black water? If she does I bet I can talk K into it too.
Matt, PM me with the super secret scuba board, kamaaina, dive pro, captains, nice guy price please.
