For the first time, I had the great possibility to be on this trip to Socorro, and for the first step on the boat, I had the most amazing feeling that this trip will be incredible.
On just my first dive, in the checkout one, for me I must say mantas are the most wonderful animal undersea, we were hanging around and just two mantas appeared to form the blue. In just an astonishing way I was hypnotized by her movement and when she was closed enough, I look into her eyes and I could stop to be diving along, and for one second, she gets too close that touched my hand like she wants to give a high five… Just a wonderful experience that I would never forget the contact with nature!
