So we were in between dives and our boat was slowly making its way to the South of Ari Atoll in search of whale sharks.
Suddenly there was a shout! Someone spotted a manta ray jumping majestically out of the water! Slowly, more and more appeared and they seemed to be just frolicking about!
The crew stopped the boat straight away and everyone was scrambling to change and jump into the sea!
There were almost 20 of these huge majestic creatures everywhere! They were feeding on plankton and just swimming about, not caring about those pesky humans snorkeling about with cameras flashing in their faces! Lol!
It was amazing! This is definitely the highlight of this trip so far. The dives have been just okay up till now, as visibility is not too good. The monsoon season is just about to start here, and ours is the last trip before they take a 2 month break to repair the boat etc.
So frolicking with mantas, *tick*. Next on the check list is whale sharks! *fingers crossed*!! :D
