The last stop on our trip was Dampier Strait where a place called Blue Magic really lived up to its name.
You don’t often here complaints of too many fish on a diving trip but sometimes the little fish would obscure the action! There were thousands of them.
As I was starting to go up for my safety stop these two mantas were swimming around and around next to me at 7m. It was really magical.
I have some video, Mantas are much more impressive when you see them moving but I need to process it so stay tuned for more updates









Fabulous images Suzy, very jealous as am still yet to get a good manta shot!
Thanks Helen. It was only my second time for seeing them – the first time was Raja Ampat too!
The photos are brilliant Suzy – Raja Ampat is very high on my wish list and even more so now after reading about your trip and seeing the photos! Snorkelling mangroves looks really cool!
Green with jealousy here also! Mantas are probably my favorite of all sea creatures.
Thanks, it was really cool. I usually hate snorkelling but with experiences like that I could come around
Raja Ampat is a wonderful place & I’d recommend it to anyone!
Thanks Mark
Still trying to workout how to process the video footage, I think you’ll really like it if I can get it to come out the way it’s in my head.
