I sure hope that was a Mantra Ray and not a Sting Ray. We did a snorkel trip from the big island of Hawaii last year and saw some Manta Rays that came within a foot of us. The biggest one was at least 12 feet across is wing span. Amazing gentle creatures.

Thanks for posting these here, PTVJ. I love that Nathan always shares some of his diving experiences with his fans. It's surely something I'd never experience myself.

Here are two pictures from our swim with the Manta Ray's in Hawaii. This was at night. The blue light attracts the plankton which they feed on. They were swimming and doing barrel rolls right under the board with the light that we were floating next too.

Here is a nice selfie picture that Nathan posted. I think he shaved his facial hair as the mask for diving doesn't seal well with hair on the face?? www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=1ce5e840c789 Oh yeah you have to do the puzzle to see the picture

You're a tease, Tycho, but that pic is SOOOOO worth solving the puzzle! Oh man, is it HOT in here? ?? I also loved seeing your pics with the manta rays. What an exciting experience that must have been!

Looks like the trip is coming to an end. His caption was "I'm not even gone and I already miss this place"

I loved the one with the starring contest with the cat. Nathan is definitely a cat person. They seek him out LOL.
