Comments Wow! Cool stuff floating past you at night time while hanging from a 50' rope in the dark. Hard to describe the ctenophores unless you first watch the videos. Fantastic experience during the Pelagic Magic dive. Great set up, well planned, small groups, great pre dive intro, very professional. The Manta dive is well run too. First night dive for my 14 year old son. I can't imagine how I will top this dive for awhile. Great experience for kids and a lot of fun. Try to check in at a different time before the dive as we had to wait more than 2 hours before boarding the boat on the first day.
