Manta Ray & Whale Shark are not in water of Bonaire. They are at Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, GA. I stayed overnight hotel there (22 hours layover) after arrived from Bonaire. I was happy to see four Whale Sharks. Georgia Aquarium tank is # 1 largest aquarium in the World. I wished go dive with them but $$$ about $250.00 for half hour of dive. Whale Sharks in the aquriums in Atlanta and Japan only.

I left Atlanta Airport for Seattle. Atlanta airport is # 1 Largest Busiest airport in the World. I want back to Bonaire someday.

You got me! I saw the Manta and Whale Shark and about freaked thinking you saw them in Bonaire....

The Atlanta Aquarium is an amazing place, well worth the visit, but a little too pricey to dive in!

One trip to Bonaire is never enough. That place gets in your blood! Next trip will be #10 for me, and your pictures make me miss it even more!
