Manta Ray bust

This was a bust. While is was interesting to swim at night, the cost for the trip did not match up with the actual event. The crew was nice and made sure we made it in and out of the ocean safely. There should be some age limits on who can go out given the rules the get rays to show. We had some little kids and parents that didn't listen to the instructions and follow the rules. The crew had to pull us over to another tour group so that some of our group where able to see some rays. Overall it was not worth the price of admission.
Sadly don’t get to see any mantas

Friendly staff, and well coordinated operation. No complaints there. They give you upper body wet suit only - not enough if you have low tolerance for cold. The water was enough to make me shiver the whole time. We didn’t see any mantas even after 30 min of floating around. I guess no one controls that - no fault of the company there.
Aiden and AJ were great...

We had a really good time with captain Bryce and crew! Captain Bryce was really hilarious. We definitely had some tension about the manta rays. Apparently they have no teeth or fangs or any way of hurting you, which I didn't know. They also have no interest in humans but wa t the plankton which are getting attracted by the lights that are being put out by the flotation device. It was safe and fun. The water was a lot waner than I expected. We got lifevest if requested and a noodle was put under our legs to help keep us afloat. The waters were calm. After we got back in the boat (whenever we felt like coming back) we got a quick deckside hot shower which felt great! I didn't bring warm enough clothes after because I forgot to but that would have made it great. Perhaps a cup of hot chocolate would have sealed the deal for me. Anyway all in all it was great! We were originally supposed to be on 7pm boat but it was a little disorganized when we got there and we were there on time but somehow missed the boat. So they accommodated us on the next one at 830. The only downside was the lack of communication and organization.
