Here is another manta video from last week....

Great action, you will note its all just one take....

It is in QT format, i will try to get it up on youtube or something... but... is a pain with my slow connection.

Best if right click and save... approx 3.5 mins long


Enjoy

Mantas

very nice Mike, at one point they are doing synchronized swimming, they are so graceful.
And what is their obsession with that mound?
 
thanks guys.

David, you will notice the small fish up close to the manta when it is right on top of me?

those are cleaner fish picking off parasites and such. The mound is a perfect cleaning station for the mantas, it is in a channel so gets a nice current flowing through. The mantas can therefore just hover over the station while riding the current and the fish clean them..
