MANTA MANTA MANTA
Posted On 11/21/2007 21:02:27 by canuck_downunder05

Ok so I'm finally up off my butt after 6 weeks of rarely diving and waiting on my workpermit. I've been freelancing and working for various companies, guiding cert. divers, dsds, helping with rescue course... once even a tour leader.


BUT!!! I went out yesturday with 3 really experience dutch divers to the Plateue dive site on Rachai Noi... (dont quote me I barely know my islands yet) and we dropped down to 12m, then 22m, slight current but we stayed together.... and then there is was 15mins into the dive!!!! My FIRST MANTA RAY!!!! it was so huge, and gracefull and calm... and AMAZING!!!! it just hung around us for awhile. you could see almost 15other divers just gazing at its beauty... following it deeper and deeper and deeper... and ummmm time to check deco time! It was amazing!


 AAAAhHHHH such a high!

SO!!! a follow up to amazing MANTAS! Koh bon a few weeks ago I was doing an open water course... obviously not an ideal location for open water dive training...or was it!


First dive wasn't sure we'd  get out to the ridge as it was my students first OW dive... but he was amazing underwater so i took him to the point... and yes on his first dive 3 MANTAS! so cool and then on the second dive after some skills we ventured out again in search of your friends. I feel a tug on my fin... and my student with the biggest eyes pointing to our left... this huge manta coming towards us... and then I look back infront of me and there was another one... A manta for each us and not another diver in sight! 


 Maybe he should just call it a day... what a way to start his diving experience.
