Comments	They have such nice gear I should have left my wet suits, mask and fins at home - especially since we just had the 2 dives. The boat is very comfortable, 40' with upper deck, 2 ladders, lots of room for suiting up, hot showers, well organized. We met at the dock since our hotel was north of town, went out with about 18 divers/snorkelers, and 3 very good, knowledgeable dive guides. Both dives were at Eel cove, so not great reefs or fish life but fun enough with a school of grunts, octopus, lots of moray varieties, flat worms, trumpet fish, puffers - not pretty reefs, but since the manta dives take place here where people sit on the floor the reef takes a beating. We had mantas! 5 nice sized, 4 male 1 female paraded for us for the whole hour. On cue, we sat down in about 35' feet of water, snorkelers above, divers with lights below, mantas came even without plankton and it was lovely. Our group went on a night tour afterward and watched morays catch prey - very exciting. Jacks did an excellent job - very competent.
