Waters were rough and murky. Crew had a hard time locating the underwater buoys to “anchor” the boat - but “she” persevered and made it happen. I wish I remembered all of the crew names. I think we had Mika and Lee, and another female - that located the buoy. Can’t recall the captain’s name, but he was less involved in making it a special experience than the other three. Pretty crowded boat - around 24 or 25, I think. But, good people and crew, so we all made it work. Like I said, kind of rough water. But, seeing the Manta Rays feed was amazing and worth it. Not a lot of them, but seeing one or two up close is sufficient. They “roll” when feeding so you get a great look at their back and front. Would absolutely go out with this crew again.
