Manta extravaganza for every group

The visibility was at least 30m on every dive and the diving was incredible. The Rock gave us schooling hammerheads, galapagos, silkies and silvertips on every dive it was sharky to say the least. A smattering of Mantas helped to take the diving up a notch but the highlight was a 10m whale shark…

Giant Manta Rays Dance with Scuba Divers

We anchored so that we could swim to the dive site, and with no current and very little waves, we had an open deck for the day so guests were free to dive whenever they felt like. Between dives, a lot of guests chose to accompany Marco, our chief mate, on a tour of the shoreline to see the arches and pinnacles and whale watch.

The encounter was, of course, an incredible experience.
