“Mysterious Mantas” by Elizabeth M. is a very well-written story. She tells us about her first dive in Hawaii. I have always loved the water, and that is why this story drew me in. I like the way she would compare the water in Hawaii to a warm bath tube. She thinks there is no need to wear wet suits because of that. She also talked about a one in a lifetime experience. It was having this huge manta ray come up right next to her. She tells us how here reaction was to move, but she didn’t. She also had this to say about it: “Its tail tickled my stomach.” She also tells us how fast there time on the dive went. She said, “The hour-long dive felt like minutes.” This is why I think this story was a very well-written story.
