To start off, I am not a swimmer. I was initially unsure of getting in the water at night knowing that giant mantas are in the area, but I had to book the tour just for my family.
Having said that, the crew made sure I was well. The guide took me to my spot, and helped me back to the boat. I felt comfortable despite of my initial fears, and once I saw the mantas, my fear of water was all but gone. The mantas were beautiful and amazing! So, don’t let the fear of water prevent you from doing the tour, it’s absolutely worth it!
