Some snorkel boards saw 2 mantas. </div><div>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. </div><div>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. </div><div>I think many boats had already departed. </div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>No sign of Eli.
