Kona Manta Ray Snorkel With Sea Paradise
May 7th 2024
Vlog 86
After a jammed packed day of hanging out with Family, Snorkeling, and Flying Drones Michelle and I joined most of the people who attended Jill and John's wedding the day before. Jill booked everyone a Night Snorkel with Sea Paradise. Sea Paradise operates a Large sailing catamaran that they use to conduct snorkel tours. One of the coolest parts is we were staying right up the road from where they dock the boat. One of the hotel employees gave us a ride in a golf cart down to the marina where Sea Paradise keeps their boat. After a quick Briefing we boarded the boat and motored maybe 10 minutes to the snorkel spot. We were one of the latest trips out, by the time we hit the water most of the other outfits were packing up. because we were one of the few people out there the Mantas flocked us! Sea Paradise brings out these custom floating boards with three hundred and sixty degrees of rails to hold on to. The boards have circular holes cut in them for very bright flash lights. The light attracts plankton which in turn attracts the Manta Ray. We were told this is one of the few places on earth where Manta Ray are accustomed to being fed with lights. This truly was an unforgettable experience and a must do for anyone staying in Kona. Don't worry if your not a good swimmer you will be holding on to the rails of the floating board the whole time. they even give you a noodle to help float your lower half..
Thanks for Watching!!

    I've been to both places and Two-step in my opinion is way better. The water clarity makes the difference for me with Two-step being surrounded by lava and no sand. Both are great and unique in their own way, but Two-step takes the cake. Thanks for sharing can't wait to get back.

    Amazing video! It's so great that you share your love for the ocean. Scuba diving is such an amazing water activity and it's lovely to see you enjoy it, keep going with these great videos. If it doesn't bother you, I'd like to give you a suggestion, a tip for the next videos: Basically, you could try inserting some comic and funny stuff... to give everyone a pinch of humor that, in the world of diving, can never be missing. Now, I don't think much of it, but the first thing I could think of in your sport might be peeing in the water. Once, my uncle, who is a scuba diver, peed in his wetsuit during a long diving session and that moment was absolutely funny, he even wrote "I’m peeing" on a waterproof notebook during the session. He has always been telling me that there are 2 types of divers and swimmers: those who pee in the water and those who lie. I know it may sound strange as a request but, in my opinion, these are moments of happiness and carefree that always make everyone smile, that's why it'd be great to include all those funny clips in your videos, if you and your diving mates want of course. I hope you like the idea and I hope you have a wonderful day! 💛💛
