Connaissez-vous les raies manta, ces grands volatiles subaquatiques ?
Dans le cadre de nos croisières aux îles Similan, nous avons régulièrement l’honneur d’accueillir Anna Flam, chercheuse de la Marine Megafauna Foundation (Fondation pour la mégafaune marine), qui les connaît sûrement mieux de quiconque !
La Marine Megafauna Foundation regroupe une remarquable équipe de personnes vouées à la recherche et à la protection des différentes espèces de la mégafaune marine (notamment les élasmobranches, requins-baleine, tortues, et mammifères marins).
Si les croisières sur le MV Hallelujah offrent avant tout à la chercheuse l’occasion de collecter des données de terrain sur les raies manta, Anna profite également de son temps libre à bord pour répondre à nos questions et surtout transmettre ses connaissances.

Manta – The large flappy thing, tell me more…
During this Similans Liveaboard we had the pleasure of hosting Anna Flam of the Marine Megafauna Foundation. A team of outstanding people dedicated to the research & protection of Marine Megafauna. Anna stayed on board for the duration of the trip hoping to capture Manta evidence and was always on hand for questions and more importantly the passing on of her knowledge.
MV Hallelujah Trip #13 24 – 28 Dec 2017 | Adventure Deep
As scuba divers we are constantly learning; the sport itself is an activity that invokes further education from the very fact that no one dive is the same as the next. During the trip a number of our guests decided to enhance their knowledge and partake in further education. Some of the regular course requests we receive are Adventure Deep dives, Adventure Night Dives, Advanced Open Water & Enriched Air Nitrox. Lets take a closer look…
