[MantaReport] 6 Mantas @ GEC - Thursday, 1/1/2015

[octofishboy at yahoo.com]

Thanks Jonathan, happy new year!
I also saw Eli.
He was one of about 5 or 6 mantas putting on a show for 1 group of divers (khd?) who set up near the north mooring which would explain why the other hundred or so people had to share one manta for the majority of the dive/snorkel.

So that makes 7 mantas! Nice
Good luck tonight to the brave ones,
Luke
