Manta Rays of Byron Bay

[AussieByron]

Hey Mark, what are you shooting that allowed you to take this shot? I can only assume it is a P&S right?

Actually I am using a Nikon D90 with Tokina 10-17mm in an Ikelite housing and 8 inch dome port with dual Ikelite DS125's and really long arms.

Cheers Mark

The highlight this week was actually on todays dive down at the "Cod Hole" with the friendly almost all black Manta and his school of Cobia. I set a new personal record of 460 shots on a single dive and 360 of them of the Black Manta. He was hard to focus due to his colour but he did have a big white spot on his underbelly which I used to focus on.

Hopefully he will in the same spot tomorrow for Team friday. Yes I am booked on []

Here are some shots so far:

"What Black Manta?"

Here are a couple of my favourite shots.

I think this one is cool as there are two Mobula Manta's near the sunburst.

I think I speak for us all when I say we officially hate you. Ouch those photos are stupendous. That 2nd one up top of the white manta...that photo is breath-taking.

Mark you can just 'Bugger Off' - I dived there in January and there was nothing like this there.

My personal fav is the 3rd up from bottom (first set) head on shot of white manta great shooting.
