People often ask about in-water research opportunities with manta rays and Caribbean Islands Manta Conservation Program in Bonaire. Sightings here are rare and opportunistic, so this isn’t something we’re able to offer. Just have to be lucky to encounter one and share that citizen science data with us!

If you're looking for an incredible opportunity to learn about marine research and take part in a fantastic conservation program, I will always recommend joining Manta México Caribe in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. I spent some time with their team and the mantas in Mexico a few summers ago - it was incredible!! Reach out to Manta México Caribe for more information on opportunities!
