Diving with Manta Rays

Contributed by Chris Barlow-Smith

Friday, 08 September 2006

Having spent the last 3 and a bit years diving here I still get a trill every time I get in the water you just never know what you are going to see.

One the first dive of the day to the dive site "Roncardores de Palm Mar". There are some fish farms there and occasionally dolphins will come in for a quick snack and they were there this morning. What was decided was to change the dive plan slightly and head out under the fish farms to see in the hope of getting some snaps of dolphins underwater. Under the fish cages were thousands of sardines in it'self spectacular but then turning around there was a passing MantaRay.....!!!! and I had a camera !!!! Mantas' are far more common in El Hierro and not often seen here in Tenerife.....We just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Then to cap it all we spent 20 mins on the surface watching dolphins ....what a dive !!!
