Manta Rays of Kona, Hawaii

[laxern8]

Who do you go to to do this?

[animythfameEm]

I have reccurring nightmares of manta rays being above me and around me. In all of they dreams they are not openly hurting me and people I love, but the main conflict of the dream is that somebody in these recurring manta ray dreams is that SOMEONE usually ends up dead or hurt. I cant go to the aquarium, I have nervous breakdowns. I watch videos like this after I have these dreams. Helps me get over it

[carlypop21]

how big are those manta rays??

[shesforreal]

i did this todayyyy! it was amazing! the mantas swam up and touched my belly with theirs

[zildjianthatswho]

did this twice, it was legit!!

[4oldstuff]

I love Kona so much. Your video brought tears to my eyes. ALOHA. Joyce

[einzigal]

Excellent Video and fine soundtrack choice.

I wonder who is enjoying it more...the Manta Rays or the fortunate divers!

The graceful beauty that is Mother Nature ~

Are There Any Sharks? That Would Be The Only Thing I Would Worry About Before I Did This. Which I Will in August.

[kevincglenn]

No sharks. Nothing to worry about.

[reenamdevadas]

I've always wanted to swim with these things....

[rossofett]

I get to dive with them in july. Im so excited

[mantarrayaasesina]

yo se que taal ves no entiendas mi idioma pero aun asi te digo que que esperiencia tan linda. ha de ser increible tener contacto con esos seres tan hermosos y por desgracia tan incomprendidos como son las mantarrayas.

[Cuttlefish333]

Truly awe inspiring. Manta rays are my favourite creature in the whole world, even though my account is cuttlefish. That was breathtaking. Thank you very much for putting up a video like this. 5/5 :)

[WindiLew]

What did you shoot this with? Your video is much clearer than what I was able to film. How did you put it to music?

[kevincglenn]

It was shot with an Olympus 5060 digital camera in the movie mode, then dumped into Pinnacle Studio for editing and music. Thanks.

[GOneScUBa]

Amazing. =)

[TonyMontanax86]

can someone plz tell me where i can buy an underwater camera to film my scuba trip ??

[JohnnyHalox]

you dont buy an underwater camera

you buy a water proof case for your regular camera

[MYNAMEISMATTOK]

yeah fuckin dumbass!

[ritajogarcia]

Greatest experience ever. I snorkeled but next time I want to scuba

[empirexx3]

no duh.The only diference is these guys feed of planton and stuuf not other fish

[liitlebit]

it looks like they come from the stingray family.

[sensitivesoul]

wonderful ^^ Their so beautiful. *sigh*

[ChuckMiser]

I did this dive around 10 times and it was amazing everytime. voted one of the ten best dives in the world every year it seems like trully the best scuba diving in Hawaii

[gerpie10]

there such amazing

[xDjx24]

I swam with these guys the same year just in the summer. Of course it wasn't with a snorkel or swim group. Kind of like on a whim sort of thing....anyways. It was just me and this other guy. It was amazing......never forgot something like that. To think your swimming with these huge animals..and when I was swimming it was like this sort of music was playing...

[Iluvtosing93]

These are such gorgeous creatures! I just got back from Hawaii six weeks ago. I'm 13, and part of a major diving group for kids ages 12-18. This was our first dive on the list, and it feels like the mantas are putting on a show for you!

[metsrock15150]

wow i did this dive a few days ago and it was the single most awesome thing i have ever done if you go to kona you have to check this out

[konalora]

this is sooo beautiful, I work at Keahou at the hotel in front, and urge all my customers to take there drinks outside to enjoy these marvels

[ryntaylor24]

the first time i ever went diving. i was with my uncle who is a marine biologiist he recently founded a new species his name is Marc Hughes of kailua kona hawaii but we saw two mantas at honokahua harbor during the day at my first dive it was beautiful

[lindseycyung]

I did this dive a little over a week ago. Definitely amazing. I recommend it to anyone who visits the Big Island!

[HalfRaven]

Stumbled upon this when I couldn't sleep. These are the sounds and images I'd love to replay...much better than the neighbor's barking dog!!

[coaxkecable]

i agree.

there's a youtube video downloader you can get, and you'll get the video, then just stick the video into a video editor, and extract the audio off the video, save it as an Mp3 or something, and BAM! soothing sleep music.

[ladychristabel]

I did this dive/snorkel trip just two weeks ago in Kona... it was an amazing experience, but the size of these rays when they get inches away from you is so scary!

[mrescuba]

Amazing

[rccce]

Well done, this brought back great memories from 5/2006 diving with the rays. Thanks for sharing.

[tonytonton7777777]

beautiful

[1033go]

Did you dive with Kona Coast Divers on this dive, or was it just off the hotel there?

[kevincglenn]

I dove with Konahonu Divers on this trip.

[1033go]
