Jill 139. Both 12lbs. The mantas are a much bigger affair now. When we did this dive in 1996 there was only our boat and about a dozen divers sitting in a circle around 1 light, and we saw 2 mantas, Taz and Lefty. Now they don't even do boats near the old Sheraton, that's all snorkelers, and the dive boats go up near the airport to the cove we moored in. MJ, the dive master who did our briefing said Lefty was first sighted in 1979, but hadn't been seen in a few years so was probably dead. This time, there were 8-10 boats, a ton of snorkelers clinging to rafts above and whooping in delight, and a big circle with 8 lights and 30-40 divers. Still it was amazing. I counted 6 at one time, but dive masters said we saw 8 different Mantas total. The ones they recognized were Big Bertha (14ft wingspan), Gaby, Hoo Ray, Rennata, and Akari. They were all large, probably none smaller than 8 ft wingspan. We spent 45 minutes on the bottom watching them swoop over us. Frank the blind eel they told us about was hanging out in the crate with the big light and got kicked out at the end. Then just when we turned to head back to the boat, 5 bottlenose dolphins were diving down and picking fish off the reef. It was incredible, and they were only about 10 ft away. Great end to great dive.
