A friend of mine has just come back from Hawaii and has put this video up of
a night dive with Mantas and it's magical

That it is, though I've heard reports from some who went out to no
avail. I spent a lot of time and money to go to Yap and see a brief
glimpse of two mantas, when I could have simply flown 5 hours to Kona
for a much better treat. We had six or seven buzzing around us for an
hour.

That is VERY cool! They seemed to be a LOT more animated than my
encounters in Yap. With us they came in slowly and hovered over and
around us waiting for the cleaner fish. I had one come down so close to
me that my camera strobe was dragging and bouncing off it's belly as it
swam by.

Cool creatures!
