from Tue 21 Apr 09: Dolphins greeted us as we motored through a slight wind chop at Garden Eel Cove. This turned out to be a good omen as we had multiple manta sightings on the first dive.

The night dive was manta-monium at its best! There was no surge, lots of plankton and lots of mantas. John counted 23 ... there could have been more! The cast: Capt Kirk, Lefty, Vinny, Alexander, Blain, Vicky, Koie, Timbuktu, Miki, Teresa, Duffy, Ho Ray, Bertha, Cousteau, Sugar, Curly, Rebekah, Who Ray, Isabel, Kaiulani, Uhane Nui, Jay, and Bob-n-Ray.
