Swimming with mantas

Yesterday we went to swim with manta rays. First we went to a nearby reef and snorkeled. It was very cool because it was almost 100% coral cover. Saw some batfish, lots of blue/green parrotfish, and some people saw sharks. The manta swim was pretty difficult. They drove us up until they saw one and then yelled at us to get in the water. After that we had to swim for our lives to catch up with the ray. I was so tired! But once we caught up with it it slowed down and swam underneath us. I hope the pictures turn out! After that we chased humpback whales for a solid hour. It was very cool. They were about 50 feet from the boat. Some of them breached and others just came up for air. After that we went for one more snorkel and called it a day. It was very awesome!
