Certainly an afternoon we wont forget. This Manta Ray was keen to take a look at us and play around for quite a while. This isn’t Scuba diving footage, we were simply snorkelling a shallow reef near Rah Dhigga Island. Once in a lifetime stuff…. None of the photo’s/video clips were taken with a zoom lens – The Manta was very close and very happy to be the star of the show!

So…you spend loads of money on Scuba diving (PADI actually stands for Pay. Another. Dollar. In) , then you get to see a fantastic Manta Ray, close enough to touch…while snorkelling. Unforgettable. June 18, Rah Dhigga Island.

Here’s a snap of a new friend I met a couple of days ago. I’m sure all my friend’s will be overjoyed to hear that there will be many, many , many more underwater pictures and videos coming soon.…

First dive in the Madlives 2010

MANTA POINT: Of course the dive guides always say there will be Manta Rays. This time there was! great result for dive number one of the year. Also saw an Eagle Ray and Green Hawksbill Turtle.  Spent the afternoon on Kuda Bandos, snorkelling and circumnavigating the whole island in under 15 minutes. Back on board Yasawa Princess by 16:05 – pronto.
