Here's another short clip of the manta rays from yesterday in Kona Hawaii....

Manta ray night dive, Kona Hawaii May 6th, '08 from Steve on Vimeo.

This is a short clip from the manta dive last night. This particular night there were roughly 50 or so divers sharing 6-7 mantas. This clip is a short uncut version of what can go on for 45-60 minutes straight on a good night.

It's kinda funny, we get people who say "we've already been to stingray city in the Carribean" or "we've seen mantas on dives in 'X location'" as though they've seen it all and the night dive is going to be nothing special, then they do this dive and get 5,10,30,50 minutes (depends on the night, some nights we get nothing, many are just plain amazing) of continuous headbumping manta ray bombardment and come up raving about it being the coolest dive they've ever done.

I've been leading this dive since late '99 and it's still a thrill for me.

Aloha,

Steve
