Monday 6-3-24, Twenty Six Mantas at Garden Eel Cove. 
I saw Gita, Gaby, Q, Bertha, ReNata, Akari, Chloe, Jolene, Emma, Quarantina, Leslie, Ho, Vinny, Sandy, Nick, Shea, Lightning, Blain, Timbuktu, Lafferty, Leon, Koen, Sugar, Regan, Alexander and Tim feeding on thick and abundant plankton.  Who'd I miss?
18 boats on early trip and 8 on late trips.  
We need to remind some snorkel operators to Not Free Dive and Not Touch the Mantas. Safety for the mantas and the humans is of paramount concern and we are lucky to be able have this amazing experience.  Free diving  around boats increases the possibility of human injury.  Touching the mantas could frighten the mantas and drive them away as it did at Olawalu in Maui. 
Let's not ruin this through poor practices.
