One of my more memorable dives was off West Maui in 2010. We were blown out of a dive to the back wall of Molokini and our boat captain suggested we try a place called Manta Point. Sometimes you are disappointed with a dive because you don’t get to see what you had hoped to encounter. Well, Manta Point did not disappoint. We were fortunate to get to dive with three large mantas.
