And I asked the manager, Benjamin Lebrano, why?
2:50
We are actually very lucky to be in front of one of the most famous dive sites in Japan, which is a cleaning station for manta rays.
3:00
We can see them all year round because they are reef mantas.
3:04
And our dive sites are quite shallow, very nearby, short boat trips.
3:07
We also have sharks 10 to 10 times.
3:09
So yeah, it's a perfect place to do this specialty.
3:13
Easy to spot them because we see them, yeah, the ratio is a lot like, not 100% of course, but very often we can encounter them.
3:24
As well as seeing mantas regularly, I asked Ben why he thought that it was important that people come and do more than just look at these wonderful creatures.
