Manta

Yesterday we motored over to the south pass of Fakarava to try to catch a glimpse of the Manta Rays feeding on the plankton as the currents were heading out of the lagoon. We snorkelled past the black tip reef sharks and into the deep. All we could see was plankton and blue water. Then, out of the blue we could see a shape, slowly becoming clearer, two large wings and a wide open mouth gliding gracefully towards us. What a creature. Apparently it is a rare sight to see a Manta Ray feeding, if it lets you watch it, it means that it trusts you.
