We
stayed at the
Manta Ray Bay Hotel. This
was diving "luxury style." The hotel was located right on the water;
enabling us to stumble out of bed and right onto the boat (good thing, too,
since the Manta Rays prefer the early hours of the morning). Our room came equipped
with a waterbed, too. To top it all off, we dined each day on gourmet meals
prepared by the hotel's 4 - star chef. Yes, indeed, we have been spoiled! We
also met a group of underwater photographers stationed on the military base
in Okinawa, Japan. Great people, great diving, great memories = GREAT VACATION!!!
