Very disappointing. Our boat was one of the last to the Manta Ray area, so we were on the outside ring of multiple boats. Additionally, the ālight boardā the crew deployed to attract plankton (and thereby mantas) emitted only dim light (they said the car battery that supplied the power was drained), so we got to watch all the other boats with very, VERY bright lights ooh and aah as they had multiple mantas coming within feet of where they were staged. We saw a few mantas, at a distance. We had heard that the night dive with the mantas was an experience not to be missed, and it looked like it actually was - for people on other boats. š¢
