Long (about an hour) bumpy boat ride out to Manta Point - was a bit unsure how we were going to survive the trip, but weather was nice and sunny (eventually). Got there and it was VERY crowded with dive boats but once in the water it was pretty nice (a bit colder than yesterday though). This dive there was quite a bit of surge but nothing too bad. And the MANTAS were awesome!! Two Mantas swum right over the top of me and it wasn't me diving badly - they were just really curious. Far and away the best Manta experience I've had. Changed to Big Boy tank but didn't drop any weights - this would prove problematic with buoyancy but couldn't be stuffed pfaffing about - will learn for future.

Began dive by fighting a mild current (~2kts) along a wall, toward the right. Came to the opening of a large fissure in the wall, inside which two sharks were swimming. One baby, one full grown White Tipped Reef Shark. The adult had a fishing line hooked in its mouth, which was snagging on rocks, so Kanuh borrowed my shears and cut the line as close as he could. There was an octopus hiding in the wall along side the opening's mouth, but not blending in colour-wise. After exiting the mouth we went along the wall following the current. A medium sized eel came out of its hole and swam around looking for another. Sculpin were sitting here and there as well.

Tulamben coral garden, bottom time plan 20 mins to a 55 mins dive, with a half empty tank. This is a dive specially for maul, as he only have 3 logs right now. Diving in a small group seem to improve my buoyancy control, hence improve my photograph skill. and this is the most beautiful site i've ever been to. for the first time, i have time and consentration on my surroundings. i saw bumphead parrotfish, many clownfish and fake clownfish, many types of anemones, and shark!! we met two blacktip reef shark!! i really really love this dive.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Certainly one of the best dives of my life! My macro skills only continued for the day! Dive started with a number of nudibranchs and crabs, including orangutan and decorator crabs. It only got better with a juvenile frogfish (orange) followed by white one at the end of the dive. There was a huge school of 70+ razor fish as well, a ton of very inquisitive juvy morays, not one but three harlequin shrimp, plus 4 of 5 juvenile lionfish of different types. Saw too juvy stonefish as well, all with no guide!
