Whales - Mantas = Video

Well, we finally had to give up on our manta ray dive. The weather conditions here muddied the coastal waters very badly between Lahaina and Ma'alaea, which is where the dive is. So, we did a different dive, not as fancy, but it was still great. We used underwater "Personal Propulsion Vehicles" (aka scooters) to get to the site, since it was in 80' of water and it was a shore dive (means it's fairly far out).

Anyway, saw some neat stuff and amazingly the camera we borrowed from Blake captured the sounds of the whales singing throughout the dive. You have to turn it up a bit, and try to ignore the sounds of Morgan breathing and the scooter action going on, but you can definitely hear the humpbacks!

One more adventure left tomorrow (a retry of our Molokini snorkel), and then we fly out late at night. Be back on Saturday!

Hello there.
Well, those whale songs are crazy cool. I am so glad you guys have had an amazing trip. Must be depressing to be coming home. Ha. Well, Griffyn will be happy. This morning i woke up to about 4 inches of snow....in VERNON...so, that was a lovely drive back...took me an hour. Why do we all live here...thats what i often wonder to myself. Took me an hour to get home and there were moment when i thought....the Mazda is losing traction....oh dear. But it persevered. anyways...been enjoying every blog entry you've had on here....cant wait to see all your pics and videos.
have a great last day.
