Excellent!!! Some of your best work yet, Paul. Though, I have to admit you did throw me with the music at first. I thought it might be some kind of freaky manta porno movie or something. lol

Paul, I used to drop off the reef at Agana, and see the Mantas. I Thank You more than you know.

Fantastic Paul!!! Man you get so close to them! Dont forget what happened to that guy downunder when he was swimming with these guys.....

Paul said...

Juls, that was a Sting Ray, Mantas are completely harmless. They feed on plankton and have no stinger.

Steve Erwin, I believe. Such a sad day here.Paul you are doing a wonderful job.We have got to snorkel together as families...maybe even jump off of Hanom...do you have a speargun? for the sharks...I heard from my brother Dean that they are more aggressive than usual there:)and I don't like sharks...might keel overin the water,me that is...

I spotted two black tip sharks that day and both were very timid. When we were kids we saw a few aggressive sharks but that was when we were spear fishing and had fish on our stringers. I've never seen one aggressive any other time. I'd leave the spear gun at home.

True Dean was spearfishing. He and my bro-in-law had it where Dean would catch and then throw it to Joe yet, the blood and wiggling most likely made them come.Dean said he actually would jump onto the reef when they would get too close to him.Thank goodness he never was bitten:)
