| The
sunset dive was the prelude to the Manta Ray dive.
Sunset is the beginning of the transition period which nocturnal sea life
begins to emerge.
About an hour on the surface after the sunset dive, we entered the water to
watch one of the greatest shows on earth and one of the top dives in the
world. If you are still working on your lifelong to-do list, add the
Manta Ray dive in Kona. You can cross it off when a ten-foot or
larger Manta Ray has graced your presence by flying inches above your head,
makes a precision 360-degree turn and swoops back over your head.
Underwater camera equipment and film used
during this dive:
Nikonos V w/35mm Lens Close-up Kit Strobe
Film: Kodak EliteChrome 100
