3weeks ago we were swimming with 9 mantas at same time! Then next day our all instructors went same spot again.  We found only one manta. He was swimming up side down to showing off his berry for long time, :) so I went closer look.  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_wchHZzTubs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> And this is from Mickey Yu, with GoPro.  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AUHyuBk6AvQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Out side of Kafena Kandu, near Kaadhdhedhoo airport. Just after early morning dive, captain found huge manta ray!

15min by Dhoni from Robinson Club. I had only one guest today, and he was really lucky!!! Visibility was not so good and they are hard to see in mid water...  

We saw all together, 20 mantas. Also watching them from the surface. So many plankton!! and... poo!

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

While doing surface interval, we found some snorkeler on the Rasfari North. We could see from our diving dhoni, many mantas were swimming about 4m depth.

Manta season is normally Dec to March/May in North Male Atoll? But we went to manta point because of request from the guest. 2 Japanese guests were with me. Lucky we saw 6 Mantas were dancing around us.
