Thank to share !
Did you use an orange filter for the movie ?:blinking:

 

[swee sin]

thanks all
nope, just natural light with manual white balance.
crank down a bit exposure compensation to increase the contrast.
depth is around 18~20m ...

Hey, nice video!
A lot of divers who behave, are much better than 1 diver who spoils the experience for everyone else...
The dive industry needs to bring in the $$$, so that the sharks & mantas get protected.

thanks xariatay
yeah ... at least my group and other group at the opposite site are well behave ...
so we can have manta swim around us for the entire 45min dive
