Comments More fish schools than any other dive location I have been too. Some dives had little
coral, mostly rubble, and a few dives had very strong current (could barely swim against).
Plenty of Manta action, some very close up. The water could have been clearer, might be
the time of the year. The boat crew,dive guides, and food staff treated us royally- I have never
been so spoiled on a dive vacation. The Manthiri is a very fine liveaboard
