you know michael, that manta wasn't in the blue hole, only puffer fish there
...and thousands of snorkellers.
we were diving in the south that day. it swam along the beach between 15m and 5m. i followed it for about 15 minutes, passed a few groups of bubble divers (only one group actually saw it

) and then let it carry on.
it's been a bit of a project of mine for years to dive with a manta and now that i finally had the opportunity i want to do it again. that was an absolutely fascinating experience.
