Fantastic because if i will tell anybody at home that we did three or four dives a day and every time we were in the water we see giant mantas, dolphins, whale shark , two or three times during the dive, and when we go out of the water we see Carmen with a smile, no one will believe it. And when you are getting your gear off you look out in the blue, and you see the whale shark in the surface. Mantas in the surface and dolphins. And at night we get a great dinner and we go to bed with a great smile. -Pedro from Austria

From the first moment I hit the water the giant mantas were waiting for us, and they were in the mood to play.  For the next 60 minutes, three mantas spent the entire time interacting with us.  Everyone in the group got great photos and video.  […]
