Clifton Wainwright, owner of Gobsmacked II, a vessel he had won in a high-stakes poker game, had conducted many dive trips over the last week and the dive this morning should have been just like any of the others from the rest of the week.
Sunshine Goodwink was a comely lass from California, regrettably cursed with a hippie name by her parents but they also also cursed her with scads of money. She was accompanied by Seth Roberts, a smarmy little puke from Pasadena who was sucking up to her for her money. Wainwright silently nominated Roberts the Dive Gigolo.
The Thompson Twins were there also because they wanted to take some time off recording whatever it is they record. The Filbert couple came from Utah but they kept bitching about what everything cost and Wainwright silently observed those are the ones the others will likely put between themselves and the sharks.
Wainwright couldn't know how cannily his dark anticipation matched that which would come as they began their descent for the morning's dive.
None of them had to taken into account they were diving under a Full Moon and the power of the Moon works on Manta Rays just as much in the daytime. This is the time they gather to make their silent plans, hundreds and hundreds of them, some with seven-meter wings and all with a deep hunger for human flesh.
The dive team wasn't sure what they were seeing until they were too close to escape from the vast swarm of giant manta rays. Just as Wainwright had predicted the Filberts were closest to them. When the Filberts noticed the giant mantas, they scrawled on their dive board, "Do we have to pay extra for this?"
Just then the mantas ate them and they disappeared, all except for that dive board with the unanswered question.
All of the laws of chivalry kicked up live in Clifton Wainwright when he decided screw the others, save the bimbo. He swam as aggressively as he could manage toward Sunshine Goodwink who saw his efforts and started swimming toward him. Seth Roberts was swimming toward the Thompson Twins who were enjoying a dramatic moment. Perhaps he thought he would enjoy a better pay scale with them but Wainwright didn't care because the Prime Directive was save the bimbo.
Sure enough, Clifton Wainwright did save the bimbo and they broke the surface shortly afterward. After they clambered back onto the Gobsmacked II, they waited and waited but no-one else came back up again.
(Ed: what happened to the Thompson Twins?)
Well, that's the story of our age, isn't it.
We have no idea who the Thompson Twins are but we have heard the name somewhere. We asked Yevette but she did not know either so apparently they are famous for something but no-one is quite sure what. Therefore, because we love you, here is the result of our journalistic research:
Holy shit! Sure is a tragedy the giant mantas ate them, isn't it! (larfs)

Small fact Mantas eat plankton
Princess Fairy knows that
She is in fact deep sea fishing today
I know they're not carnivorous but thought how scary can plankton eaters be. I wonder if Fairy Princess can handle swimming with them as I don't know if I could. Twenty-foot wing span!! Body must be maybe ten feet deep. So I tell myself, yep, it only eats plankton. It's as big as a garage but it only eats plankton.
Swimming with them is cool but dont get hit by a wing there is alot of powerin them. She swam with cownose rays
Sometimes comments slip by and I don't even see them. Unsure how that can happen.
These are things from dreams with me. Sharks are terrifying because I don't know when he last ate and mantas have a similar elegance but with a benign way about them which seems like it would be mystical.
