New season began!!
From this season, the Maldivian Government start to protect the BAY it’s called “Hanifaru Goni”.
As you know, this is the place which we have chance to see the “Aggregation MANTAs”. So they published some new rules to follow it. We can enter every “odd number date” only.
Anyway we still have chance to dive in there☺
On this trip, luckly we could swim with 16 Mantas!!

From the diving boat, we could see many Mantas were swimming on the surface!!

Mantas opened their very big mouth to suck up tiny tiny small planktons!

We were really excited to dive and snorkel with them!!
And Baa Atoll has many beautiful dive sites. There are many cleaning stations for Mantas!
On the cleaning station, they seemed so elegant ;)

Sometimes they stoped above the divers and played with our bubbles☺

And many Jack-Fishes are living in some dive sites! They pray upon fusiliers. Fusiliers were crazy to flee from Jacks. It looks so beautiful!
