iBlah@MyWall: BALINESE MANTA RAYS - INDONESIA [Scuba Diving]

So I gave the Balinese Manta Rays another chance to show themselves, kept my fingers crossed and this time it didn't disappoint (almost). Though I didn't have much luck on Mola-Molas. It was scary and exciting at the same time to watch a group of humongous Manta Rays, it was about 10-15 feet away from me. I just wished the visibility was a lot better.

While I was busy taking photos of Manta Rays in front of me, my dive guide was giving me a signal to look behind me... there was a huge Manta Ray swimming towards me, so close I panicked - I didn't know what to do first; take a close up photo of the Manta Ray or fin away. I ended up doing both at the same time. #AmazingExperience

Anyway, during this Bali Dive trip, I finished total 6 dives (3 dives each day) at Nusa Penida and Padang Bai. Dive operators I used are locally operated (nothing fancy but its all good). Widana Dive Service at Padang Bai and Bali Queen Dive in Nusa Penida.
