My husband and I were with one other family for our trip. The small group of 6-8 gather around the floating board, and the mantas barrel roll up and down to eat plankton, which are attracted by the light. Each manta has its own markings, and a name. Mesmerizing to watch!!!
Everything was smooth and easy, pretrip, when we thought we had a transportation problem, and then in gearing us up with waivers, wet suits (take the offer!) and go pros for those who wanted to rent them. The rides out and back were a quick five minutes.
