Cool shots! I love the mantas. I'm headed to Truk myself this November, and I hope to see some similar things.

Martyn, Great shots! Love that Manta series! Looks like you were in Palau a week before us? Were you land based or liveaboard. Noticed you did a shark feeding dive. Nice!!!

Thanks again.

We were in Palau Jan 27th for a 10 day trip on the Ocean Hunter II, great boat, great crew. Will get a trip report posted this week. Only regret is we did not make it to Peleliu because of the swell. While the Ocean Hunter II is comfortable it is not great in heavy seas. Did you guys make it down there?

The "shark feed" consisted of the chef throwing lunch scraps off the sten of the boat and the black tips showed up. I slid in with a snorkle and got a couple of shots before they took off.

We saw the OH II. Nice boat, but yeah I can see it being a bit uncomfortable in bad weather... But I hear it's an excellent boat to be on.

We did motor down to Peliliu. Did the Express, Peliliu Wall/ Cut and Yellow Wall. The express was more like a local when we did the dive...
