Hi everyone, been lurking here for a few months and finally decided to join up. I would describe myself as a recreational monofinner and usually check out the monofin forum here. I currently use a Waterway Nemo which I got from PFI (Hi Mandy).
I had a nice thrill this afternoon in the water near Poipu (south shore), having a friendly visit from a large manta ray. I was probably 1/4 mile off shore in about 15 feet of water inside the reef swimming parallel to shore when I suddenly noticed I was not alone. He was maybe 10 feet off to my left and seemed about 5 ft. long (not including tail) and a wingspan of 8ft(?)- was hard to tell but he seemd pretty big to me. I didn't get much closer and he veered off when it seemed like he noticed me. It was the first time I'd ever seen one here. Happy diving all!
