Back in film days I was sure to find something good after I hit 36 frames. From that I learned to stop shooting at 32 and keep a couple of shots just in case.
Mantas must know when to show off though, sitting at the end of Borneo Divers jetty on Sipadan back in 1992 drinking bottles of Anchor beer with two friends talking about our days dives as the sun went down, a manta breached and nearest camera about 100M away .... not that any of us would have managed to get a shot, but it was one of these jaw dropping moments that was at least shared even if we could not capture it on film.
I always carry my camera on check out dives otherwise I would be out of trim
