Yes. I’m not even joking. This morning we had a wake up call at 6am to say the Mantarays were coming. For anyone who doesn’t know me I am NOT a morning person and wasn’t best impressed at being pulled out of bed by an excited dorm but as my Spanish housemates put it so very well…
we won’t remember the time we stayed in bed but we will remember the time we swam with mantarays
And it didn’t disappoint!! We saw about 6/7 (or maybe the same 2 multiple times) today as opposed to one sighting yesterday.
There is a massively strong current where they swim so you relax until you spot one then try to swim furiously against the current to keep up with the Mantaray but usually only actually manage to just about stay still against the current. The boat then picks you up at the end of the current and drops you off at the beginning to start again. Amazing!
