Jen and Donna and Manta Rays, oh MY!

Jen and Donna came for a week in mid December.



They snorkeled every day...



Donna was very serious about her snorkeling and convinced us to go snorkeling at night with manta rays. Jen and I were both a little resistant, but it was SO MUCH FUN!

We donned wet suits and rode on a catamaran with 25 other adventurers out to a spot near the Sheraton where the underwater lights attract krill which in turn attract the rays. There were more rays than we could count and they were HUGE. Our boat crew said rays can get to 16 feet across. Some of the ones we saw SEEMED that large but probably weren't. Donna took these pictures:







Aloha y'all!
