[MantaReport] Monday March 12, 2018, Two Mantas @ Garden Eel Cove

[Keller Laros]

Monday March 12, 2018, Two Mantas @ Garden Eel Cove. 
Super clear water and no mantas on the afternoon dive. 
During surface interval no shadows over the bottom lights at the circle. Some snorkel boards saw 2 mantas. 
When I entered w my scuba divers we went to circle and found an Eel, small red zooplankton at a weak 2 level and lots of fish but no mantas.  Some of the guides signaled no mantas.  After a while I began our tour but left the lights on at the circle. 
I never stray too far from the circle and during tour I saw that a manta had started feeding. We returned and enjoyed a nice evening w Vallaray.  
I think many boats had already departed. 
Boats were BID x 3. KOA x 2. JDL KHD KDC HO WW CRA K SOW BM HL MH 2 Splashers another RIB and maybe a couple others. 

No sign of Eli. I hope he heals and comes back.
