Manta Ray off Key Largo

[BlueWaterEric]

These first in a lifetime photos were taken last weekend on French Reef during a drift dive in about 50 ft of water! The water wasn't as clear as usual which is why the mante ray was there eating plankton and circling our divers with curiousity. As usual, the photos don't do justice to the thrill of this encounter, but I hope you enjoy them!

Tanks and happy diving!

I was at Molasses a few days ago and divers reported seeing a Manta(not me) but the trim tab broke on my boat and I noticed it while diving and went home right away(I guess too quick now). SHHHHHH. Nice shots, thnx for the pix
