Thanks M.E.L.A

For a Christmas present, Mike, Emily, Laura, and Anna (M.E.L.A.) gave us a Manta Ray night dive, which consisted of two dives. A twilight dive looking for those critters that come out as the sun is setting. Then a night dive in search for Manta Rays. Really you don't search for mantas, you turn on your flashlight to attract their food, which is plankton. Then you wait. It didn't take long for the mantas to find the plankton. Manta Rays are HUGE, we saw 10-14 ft wingspan. Six of those huge fish swimming in 15 feet of water. It was an experience! Ornate Butterflyfish Peacock Grouper Leaf Scorpionfish Yellow Tang, Goldring Surgeonfish, Goldrim Surgeonfish Mouth of a Manta
