Hi dear blog readers and Steemians, in this article I want to present you my first collection of really awesome photos taken while my four dives together with huge Manta Rays in the Maldives!
I have already showed you my first two videos of diving together with these beautiful ocean creatures and as I told you, I made four dives at the famous Manta Point in the Maldives, South Ari Atoll.
If you havenยดt seen them so far, here you can watch it directly:
Part 2:
My already uploaded videos were taken while my first two dives with the Manta Rays and because it was ssssooo awesome I repeated the dive at this place after a few days again.
And it happened again: The huge Manta Rays were there and not only 1,2,3,4, NO, there were at least 15 Manta Rays! (I think many more, but I havenยดt counted them... ^^)
This time I was more experienced, because I already dived two times at this location and I decided to take a glove with me, because there was a very very strong current.
You have to grap something so that you will not be aborted into the blue see.
It is not welcomed to dive with gloves in tropical places and in egypt it is forbidden for example, but in the maldives it is ok, because there are so many places with strong current.
But my gloves are very thick and the water temperature in the maldives was 30 centigrade, even if it was october... In addition I needed a hand for my camera, so that I decided to only take one glove with me, as you can see in the photo above. (The Michael Jackson glove ๐)
It was a really great decision to take on this glove, because I really had a much better grip!
There are some other interesting information about my dive 3 & 4 with the Manta Rays, but I know many of you donยดt want to read so much, so that I will stop to write more in this post here and I will continue the story in another article!
At least here are some more great photos of the awesome Manta Rays:
Stay tuned for the next part and I even have more video material of my Manta dives too!
Best regards and hear you in my next article!
