After my safety stop a big manta showed up. She interacted with me for a couple minutes and I had a special moment with her, when we saw each others eyes!!

After our inspection at the navy base in Socorro Island, we were heading to Punta Tosca to do the silky snorkel. Some of the guests and myself were on the bow watching dolphins play with the boat.
