Ido Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Hi. This September I spent (sorry for the pun) a week in Hanifaru bay - Maldives . We had a bad luck - Not a single manta in the "manta bay" during the best season - all week. So - instead we shoot each other.. Camera: Nikon Z7 2 . Housing: Isotta. lens: Nikon 8-15mm Sea&Sea strobes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruehaufsteher2 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Nice, only a little blueish. Was there really a week without mantas?? We've been there in August and had anything between 30 and 200 Mantas. Not to mention the nearly everyday whalesharks. "oceanfanaticsreethibeach" on insta were a good source of information.

pcremone Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Sorry to hear that, usually Sept. is a great month for mantas.. maybe you had to look to the moon phases before of choosing the time, they are very active in the full and new moon.. Been there a couple of times and always got plenty of mantas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
