This post got me all excited that there was a chance we might see it there someday....

Me too!  But he/she started showing up in November 2011, and hung around until April 2012, so I thought he was a little late.

December 2011 there were two manta rays at Maho while we were there. I had heard about them but didn't believe it until I saw them for myself. They were really spectatular. I got a couple of photos and posted them on my blog. I hope they come back. In 15 years traveling to St John I had never seen them.
enjoy!

We saw a couple manta rays at Francis and Maho in November 2012, but they were not very large, definitely not huge.
