We’ve had these two videos sitting around on YouTube for a while, but since we saw Manta Rays on Monday and Tuesday as well as dolphins on Monday and Thursday, I felt like re-posting these two beauties.

The Perfect Time of YearMay 19th, 2010 by ClaytonMr. HappyApril 23rd, 2010 by ClaytonThank you so very very much to Scott and Julianne, Wayne and Karen, and Andrew and Sharon.
First of all, thank you for such a fun time. Scuba diving in Naiqoro Passage, swimming at the waterfall, snorkeling on the big reef, cutting a trail to the top of the mountain, jokes at dinner with Dave and Jeanie, the Mr. Happy shirt, my new hair cut, taking the chain saw into the bush, drinking kava and dancing in Narikoso Village, and all of the other fun times we shared for a short time here in Fiji. A Crazy Day in Beqa LagoonApril 5th, 2010 by ClaytonBull sharks, Lemon sharks, Silver Tips, massive Trevally, a giant Cod. Only two words can describe this unbelievable sight--AWESOME and SURREAL. Awesome to see natures furry and grace all wrapped into one event. And surreal for the two dives to be completely inaudible. Not being able to hear the chomping of Tuna heads or the swish of the water when the sharks darted for the food made Jason and I feel like we were watching TV instead of being meters away from the action. I almost wanted to reach out and touch everything just to prove that it was real, but then I thought better…. Thankfully, I put a nice soundtrack to this mash up so turn up your speakers and enjoy.
Manta Ray Madness at Ono Island, FijiJanuary 19th, 2010 by ClaytonJust when we all thought Manta Rays found another home away from the Astrolabe Reef, BAM! manta ray sightings 2 days in a row right off Paradise Beach on Ono Island. The first day, the gang spotted their wing tips coming through the water’s surface. As the boat was coming in for their surface interval after diving at Split Rock, they spotted the manta rays feeding in the water. Kevin made sure to take full advantage of the moment, exclaiming “STOP THE BOAT! STOP THE BOAT!” Kevin, Jason, and the rest of the crew quickly readied their mask, snorkel, and fins to have a swim with the manta rays for more than 30 minutes.
The New Camera at the Astrolabe ReefDecember 26th, 2009 by ClaytonLast week, Jason entrusted me with a new underwater camera and an awesome wide angle lense. At first, I was a bit hesitant to use it in fear of breaking the little guy, but luckily I’m not that big of a baby. So today was the first time I took it underwater and all went well.
