Mantas are around but they are not playing, one group saw a group of at least 20 Galapagos sharks down deep, a few hammerheads, and a big turtle. As I write there is a group of guests debating to see if what they saw was a huge galapagos or a medium size tiger shark.

The action was perfectly mellow for the entire 20 minutes that we had him in the water.
