Thanks :)
I noticed the pattern or mantas on many of the boatmen and fishermen and DMs - we should meet up somewhere for a dive Michelle - with our mothers!

I would love to join you for a dive. Maybe our mothers could go snorkeling? Unfortunately, but not for altogether bad reasons, I can't go diving for a while -- will blog about it soon! Until then, I am vicariously enjoying your experiences. :)
