[MantaReport] mantas at GEC.thu12feb2015

[luke mason]

Aloha all,
We warned all our divers before casting that it was going to be a really rough night and could not guarantee their enjoyment, but everyone of them wanted it.  On the afternoon dive they were treated to a parading monk seal (I saw a tag reading w35) for 35 mins of the dive, at least 3 mantas, including Koie. The monk seal did not like us looking at the mantas though, so quickly got back up in our faces if we diverted our gaze. Amazing dive!
on night dive we had a great show from
11 mantasKoie, Lefty, Vicky, Blaine, Ho ray, Sugar, Jordan, Tim, Otis, Eli
Plankton rapidly built to a 3 at the deep campfire
7 boats, kona dive, ASC, sunlight, mojo, wahine, coral reef, kamanu. maybe a couple more?14 divers, 50 snorkliers
swell was big, but manageable at deep campfire other conditions were favourable, great to be back out there!hui hou tonight to anyone braving that wind,Luke, kona diving co.
