Evening drift back to manta tows… yes, it’s “tow,” not “toe” (mantas have zero, we checked). 🩴 This behind-the-boat ride is how we scan reefs fast, spot change, & sometimes meet curious sharks. Reef science (on a leash).

From Lady Musgrave to Lizard Island, manta tow surveys on the GBR or NW Hawaiian Island are part of how we know what’s happening beneath the surface.
It’s fast, it’s a little wild, and it works.
Just don’t splash too much.
