Auch im Salomon-Atoll hat uns das Manta-Glück nicht verlassen. Eigentlich hatten wir unseren Ankerplatz zur Ile Takamaka verlegt mit dem Vorsatz, eine Dinghi-Expedition ans Außenriff zu starten um unsere Lieblings-Rochen zu suchen. Das stellte sich als etwas schwierig heraus, weil der einsetzende Südost-Passat und die ihn begleitende Brandung unser Vorhaben nicht unbedingt erleichterte. Ihr könnt euch unsere Freude vorstellen, als wir gerade gemütlich bei einem Sundowner auf "Ruthea" sitzen und plötzlich direkt neben dem Boot auffällige Flossenspitzen die Wasseroberfläche durchbrechen. Wir mussten die Mantas nicht suchen, sie haben uns gefunden! Zufällig haben wir direkt an einer Stelle geankert, wo sie sich zwei Wochen lang fast täglich zum "surface feeding" einfanden. 11 Individuen konnten wir identifizieren, hier sind die Bilder. Wir haben ihnen schon mal vorläufige Namen gegeben weil wir hoffen, dass die meisten neu in der Manta Trust Datenbank sein werden. Die müssen aber erst noch bestätigt werden, kann sich also noch einiges ändern.
