This is the second time I’ve done this in 10 years and it is still one of the most amazing experiences of my life! The manta rays are such gentle, graceful giants, it is so, so amazing to be up close and personal. Also, this trip was much better than my last one for a few reasons: 1 - we only had to be on the boat for 5-10 minutes to get to the viewing area, 2 - no wasted time messing around on the boat in choppy waters - all geared up on land and ready to go when we got out there, 3- thanks to COVID, there was no crowd, so we almost had them all to ourselves. My only complaint is, we paid for an SD card/GoPro and it didn’t work, the SD was empty - so disappointed! (It wasn’t user error, the guide couldn’t get it to work either. We went ahead and paid for it hoping that we had gotten some footage at the beginning.)
