So I spotted a Pelagic Manta Ray today at Keahole Point and it apparently has not been ID'd before. Which means that I get the honors of naming the Manta for Manta Pacific Research Foundation. Pretty stoked but not as stoked as I was when I first caught glimpse of this beautiful creature. Its wing span was over 18 feet and had two good sized remoras on its back. I think she was as curious about me as I was about her. I was able to swim right up and cruise along side her for about a minute or so, until I was huffing and puffing so much there was just no possible way to keep up any longer. This was a much needed dive.
