Monday March 2, 2026, Thirty One Manta Rays at Garden Eel Cove, Makako Bay, Hawaii. 
I saw Seven females: Akari, Brady, Gaby, Gita, Emma, Jolene and Koie. And Twenty Four males: Alexander, Blain, Doug, Darth, Ho, Black D, Captain Mike, Jay, Koen, Independence, Tim, Timbuktu, Jordan, Keniki, Leon, Lafferty, McBoom, Shea, Sandy, Nick, Regan, Vinny, Stevie Ray, and Mermaids Lament who’s still to shy to swim with the older rays at the campfire. 
Who’d I miss?
Plankton was a good 3.  I recovered a Big Blue light from 75’ out below one of the deep mornings. It can be retrieved at Jack’s harbor location.  There is also a car battery also out in about 75 feet of water that I was able to place at the bottom of the deep mooring but my boat was too far away for me to take up.  Hopefully somebody can bring that ecological bomb up and dispose of properly before to does too much damage. 
Good luck Tuesday.
