Manta Ray Night Dive Madness

I could not be more blown away by a single dive than this one. A night dive off the big island of Hawaiian where these graceful creatures arrive out of the cover of darkness and glide above the heads of divers. A small squadron of mantas come almost every night to the same stop. Sometimes there are none but up to eight may be spotted each night. Drawn by the plankton which are attracted to the light that the diver companies place in the water, the fish and the manta rays performed an underwater ballet to an enthralled and memerized audience of divers. The best dive I have ever done! Posted by Picasa
