Isabel was identified on October 15, 2001 at Manta Heaven. She is a mature female and 12-14 feet wide.
Isabel comes to the “dinner table” rarely but frequents both locations and we usually see her when the plankton concentration is high. Isabel is a “mid-water manta” but has been spotted close to divers. She was also pregnant in the past.
DESCRIPTION OF MARKINGS
Isabel has three spread out dots on her right side and (with some imagination) “bunny ears” form within her main spot pattern.
