Scott, I am a friend of your uncle, Dave Beaton. He was instrumental in getting me to dive in 2001. When I told him I was going to Hawaii in late October he emailed me your website and contact info. We will be on Oahu for 2 weeks and would love to do some diving with you-your pics are "got-to-get-in-the-water-soon" great. Would love to do the manta dive. If I dont hear from you thru this venue I'll give you a call. Later, Dennis
About 2/3 of the school was circling around Ryan, while the rest of them were cruising over, behind and under me. You also have to realize I only caught the tail end of the circling on video. A lot of the Ulua had already stopped circling and were cruising out into the blue before I had started filming. I would say there was somewhere around 400+ Ulua altogether, most of them being around 30-50 lbs but a good number of large ones being close to 100 lbs. It was pretty amazing to catch a glimpse of 3 of them out of the corner of my eye and then by the time I looked up, several hundred of them buzzing past me at mock 10 speed and being able to feel the water rushing by me. Talk about a serious pack of wolves out for some blood; I'm pretty sure every fish on the reef was shaking in there shoes. I know I was.
