HuvafenFushi - Maldives - Manta dive
Finally my BCD arrived, scubapro bella...size is XS, they said that BCD holds 10l tank. But I use 12l normally from the boat dive. For house reef, I'm using 10l tank. So far, it's okay, still feel bit big for me... 7:00am in Huvafen (6:00Male) time, we tried to find manta by speed boat and snorkeling. Heron was showing me how to catch / eat fish...I haven't have breakfast yet! Looking for school of manta... but we saw only 2 mantas from surface. But, then we went in water...gone! It was too early,,,3 hours later another people saw 30 mantas. This picutre is 2 weeks ago, viz was very good. This is @ house reef. if you look very close to this pipefish mouth, it has dots!! @ Bodubo Thila
Hi Mari,
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind me reaching out to you, but I represent the Manta Trust in Ari Atoll and have stumbled across some of your footage of mobula rays cleaning in Hvadhoo Atoll from 2012. The video is fantastic, and is exceedingly rare behaviour to see.
We are trying to accumulate more information on mobula rays in the Maldives, and I was wondering whether you might have might be able to tell us a little more about your encounter. Where exactly was the cleaning station and did you witness this on many occasions?
If you would like, you can write to me directly on tom@mantatrust.org. I believe you have already submitted a few manta sightings from the area, which is also quite rare, so i would be more than happy to tell you about which manta you saw.
Thank you very much for your help and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Tom Burd
