Hi, thanks for your kind comments!
@Tippytoes12 - Sun Island Resort, which I would definitely recommend. Very good dive centre, with good local dive sites. It was just a question of bad luck with the whale sharks I think, because others saw them whilst I was there. Next time....
Cheers,
Matt
Went looking for whalesharks... no luck there, but we saw plenty of playful mantas!
Apart from the beginning, the mantas are at 2:45 as well.
Cheers,

I am curious of why you would use continuous autofocus? Unless you have a mid range lens this is totally not necessaryHi Matt,
nice movie, well done.
As I changed to the GH5 only recently, how is your experience with it, especially with the infamous AF? When I filmed Mantas in Hawaii in the dark, I was shocked by how much the camera struggled with the AF, even when there was only 1 Manta to track. Ok, I used the 225-point focus which is probably really worse than the 1-area focus and there were 2 more firmware updates since then. Still, I wonder how much of your footage was actually ruined by pulsing?
Also, did you use a filter or just manual WB?
