My eyes rolled a bit and I rubbed my forehead. I pondered on that thump because I had always believed that mantas had such good radar that they would never hit us.

Last year, I had one lay on me. That was weird. Fortunately, it kept moving forward and so it was a very short lived experience, uh, which I lived through. I am so much wiser now and have even greater respect for these beautiful creatures.


Maybe it was trying to be amorous with you.
 
I did this once but watching them at daytime is way more enjoyable.

Agreed

Yeah, except at night there's all sorts of other stuff in the water to look at—attracted by the same lights that attract the mantas. Jacks, flagtails, snappers, plus all that wild-looking zooplankton. I like both day and night.

Honestly, I like Bonaire night diving way more.
