This young manta ray was first sighted at the Ho’ona Bay/Garden Eels site on October 11, 1999. He is about 7’ across and his tail is about one foot long. He had scuff marks his cephalic fins and chest. He was too shy to join the other mantas feeding at the divers’ lights. He is named after expert diver Miles Leicher who has dove with the Kona Manta Rays many times.
