manta ray

Hello, I am trying to find a place in Indonesia that has all three of these animals: manta rays, whale sharks, and mola mola (ocean sunfish). I know you can find both reef and oceanic mantas in Raja Ampat, Whale sharks in Cenderawasih Bay, and Mola mola in Crystal Bay in Bali. I also heard that...

Check out some of the underwater fun we had exploring the incredible dive sites of North Stradbroke with the amazing Manta Lodge team. On the day we dived Manta Bommie and Shag Rock. Manta Bommie is a renowned hotspot for marine life, and it lived up to its name as we were greeted by the...

I’m casually planning a possible dive trip to either Costa Rica or Honduras for approximately 10 days. I don’t have a ton of dives under my belt but have some good experience especially with large shark dives (tiger beach, South Africa shark diving/great white cage diving) and some drift and...

. "The adult female manta (F171 Simone) seen dead in the video was first identified early December 2018. She was seen regularly around German Channel since cleaning and feeding, so it is unlikely she died from natural causes. A Japanese liveaboard was first on the scene early morning Jan 30, and...

I was fortunate enough to get a couple days off for a post labor day dive trip down to Singer Island. We of course hit the bridge, but we also did a shark dive and the tail end of the grouper aggregation. We dove 3 days (9/10-9/12) The bridge was great as usual with about 30 feet of visibility...

Where, near Eleuthera can I find Manta Rays? If not Eleuthera then what other Bahamas Islands?

This video includes footage from sites Blue Magic, Manta Ridge and Pulau Wai Manta at Dampier Strait that I took in December 2018 and January 2020. Both times we stayed at the best of the best Sorido Bay Scuba Resort. Most of the footage was taken on Sony A7rii, and the last few clips of...

In 2018, after a 15-year absence, giant "oceanic" manta rays returned to la Reina, a small islet in the sea of Cortez, Mexico. The islet of la Reina is also home to a colony of sea lions, who would often swim up to the manta rays, and interact with these new and elegant visitors...

Manta ray by Franck Fogarolo.

This is a compilation of a few dives with Manta's off the coast of Komodo Island in Indonesia.

no matter how often you've seen Manta rays before, the Big Island Kona night dive is still something that stands out. They come extremely close, just cms, inches away from our heads, we could feel the thrust of their wings! When 4 Mantas were around us, it became an awe-inspiring experience! I...

Saw my first shark in the wild every, a small white tipped reef shark and as I turned my head in comes this beauty. I wish it had been a better day for filming, I'm still learning color correction for editing and the water was murky. What was great is my wife is flying out to be with family...

Made 6 dives with Pacific Coast Dive Center in Playa Flamingo. 1 dive was at "Dos Sombrero" the other 5 were at Catalina Island since the Mantas were in town and they did not disappoint. We saw 6-7 Mantas and one of the groups saw a whale shark. Water temp in the low 80's, vis at least 50'. Lots...

My wife and I dove Yelapa yesterday and were lucky enough to have a close encounter with some Manta Rays. They were amazing, and we were close enough that we could have reached out and touched them (we did not). Amazing dive, couldn't believe it turned around and came back through us. We were...
