So you want some photos posted eh? How about a manta or 19?

Okey dokey, here is a little number i got on the 26th of Feb 2005, i will always remember that dive.
Shot on film so just got it developed and scanned the other day.
This is the best shot, unfortunate about the bubbles mind you.
Had video in left hand and the NikV with 15mm in the right, wasn't composing at all so not that happy with the photos. Should have concentrated on either the photos or the video, but i got greedy and so neither one is really to my liking.

ANyhoo, in case you are counting, thats 19 mantas out of the 30 plus that were there at the time.

Sounds like you are having a huge manta fest in your first year on Yap!

Looks awesome

Great shot, what time of year were you in Yap?? Since, I'm in Guam right now I'm sure I'll get out there some time. I just hope I'm that lucky!!

Can you send a few of those my way? Cool shot.

I would have preferred 20...but I guess 19 is okay

what a special moment.

Great stuff Mike. Manta madness for sure

I will be in Palau for a few days the first week of April, will try to get to Yap in the near future.

What a sention to be able to dive under 30 mantas.

Really great.

I have to move from Italy and come in one of the Island in the far east (Micronesia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia...) There is so much more to see than here.
