[MantaReport] Monday 8-26-13, Five Mantas @ Garden Eel Cove

[Keller Laros]

Monday 8-26-13, Five Mantas @ Garden Eel Cove.
We had one fly by on the afternoon dive but no ID.
On the night dive we had Eli, Kai-Zed, Shirley and Koie closely followed by
Ho Ray who was sporting a nasty cut on his left cephalic fin.
He was demonstrating courtship behavior despite the injury which may well
cost him his left cephalic fin.  See attached images.
Plankton was a weak 2 at the light circle.
Twelve boats. Big Isle x 3, Kona Ocean Adventures x 2, Jack's, Kona Honu,
Kamanu, Neptune Charlie's, Bite Me, Splashers and Sunlight on Water.
About 50 snorkelers and 30 scuba divers.  No swell.
Good luck on Tuesday.
Keller
