I guess it’s fitting that on one of the few dives where you have a 100% chance of seeing not one manta, but dozens, my camera fogged up to where few good pictures were taken. I guess on the plus side, it caused me to live in the moment. And, I got a second chance later on in the trip….

Dive site notes: 10:53-11:56 (63 min). Max. depth=9.3 m. 26.1ºC. 30% oxygen. Very little in the way of coral, but saw about 20 enormous manta rays. Definitely a dive to be remembered. Also saw a turtle.
