Giant Manta Ray Terry circling & playing with diver up close

[2catkatcat]

shit this manta ray is sweet

[iRiskBronze]

You get stung. Your fucked.

[twasbrillig33]

@iRiskBronze Manta's don't have stingers, they aren't STINGRAYS, they are MANTA RAYS. BIG DIFFERENCE

[oscarnauge002]

Vaya combinación: méndiga mantarroyona colimota y mujer de magia negra...

[Zanmatt2g]

its amazing how big it is

[dltanner99]

Cryptozoology novel see video book trailer

[Goldfirebird18]

boring music, but what an amazing creature

[RAYDENMORTALKOMBAT]

beatiful

[SptifireAce]

the oxygen of that diver will run out soon if he keeps breathing like that. When I dive I breath out every 10 seconds or so. But I guess my breathing would also speed up if I would meet a ray like that ;)

[pokemonmarx]

i made friends with a manta ray...i named him traveler. he's in atlantis marine world.

[crazybuzzpunk]

I came across one about this size when I was diving in Lanzarote, it came from behind me and when I turned around it was right there, I thought it was a shark for a second. Scary stuff ;)

[ruthbowker]

This is where I would like to be right now!

[dalonelybaptist]

Curious as to why they dont get regularly hunted by stuff?

[geckodelta]

@dalonelybaptist they do in certain areas such as large sharks and on some ocassions orcas :)

[Inferno9978]

sting rays are the jealous bastard version of the manta ray. Mantas actually like humans

[avalanchesoul]

look at that fucking lamprey....reminds me of my ex-girlfriend

[jpg50]

i like the remora on its wingtip

[cafepiedra]

black magic w...

[JustinNyland]

It knows it's sexy . . . it's all crank up the Santana.

[TheCerviatti]

cool

[SirGarforth]

Well, then, you're a dick

[xPinkxInkx]

Their like teh birds of teh sea :o

big and gracful :3

[runescapesteven]

beautiful

[MarcoCaroAdriaans]

That looks amazing !!! Me and my wife are junior divers ... and we're not sure we'd survive the heart attack it gives of seeing something this huge ... We were in Sharm El Sheikh and well ... the thought alone of this animal and e.g. a Whale Shark gave me the creeps whenever I stared into that Deep Blue !!!

[bestiees813]

i just got dive certified 2 weeks ago just so i can do that. I'm so excited!

[AyoriusSmith]

1 palabra... hermosa

[Hamster343]

I've always wanted to swim with a manta ray, if i couldnt do that i would like to swim with dolphins, that would be awsome XD

[AerosolRenegade]

Go swim with a box jellyfish.

[panikattak14]

That Ramora fish is an idiot...it latches onto the part of the ray that moves the most, that must be uncomfortable

[SHITTYBOYBOY]

but it is for the better panikattak14~~~ they are helpless themselves and need protection and have no other choice....

[JustAnotherGaian]

He means, why does it latch unto the wing(which moves a lot) & not the belly(which doesn't much that much).

[MaPaCha]

omg its huge i would freak out!!! even though i know they are harmless...

[Someguywitadog]

The Manta Ray is truly a beautiful creature

[Lolzz127]

i may be thinking of stinrays..

[Lolzz127]

wow thats dangerous kindof i dunno but near its tail it can whip u and kill maybe not..

[bobsalo]

oh, i saw one like that in egypt

[JustAnotherGaian]

Egypt? Lol?

[Silverthehedgehogfan]

so are manta rays harmless

[DrachenClawStudios]

Yes, they have no stingers and are docile near humans.

[Mirozenx]

is the music at the front santana? i've heard it before and my dad likes santana

[MaPaCha]

its black magic woman by santana

[DRYH2010]

great u play black magic women while looking at a giant stingray.Just joking good song on guitar hero 3.

[wongcpa8]

Check out Smooth by Santana/Rob Thomas in another video - Friendly giant mantas Daniel & Terry wait for diver to play

[callin2427]

@DRYH2010 is not a stingray,  its a mantaray

[syrins]

i'd love to swim with one of these one day...

[MarkObsolete]

uu yea

[slavedestiny]

My teacher said that a manta ray could reach a wingspan of my classroom which is about 12 ft... but it could be twice the size of that... lols... which means that it is a real aqautic giant.

[wongcpa8]

At the Revillagigedo Islands Group in Mexico, mantas can grow over 20 to 25 ft. Mantas in that area are world famous for interacting with divers.

[slavedestiny]

Woa....Here in singapore you will never get to see one that big ya know...Japan too ^^ Thnx 4 the info. ^_^

[HoodwinkedbyanAngel]

@slavedestiny I once dove at Bonair & found one 20 wide at least & we latched on to it... the dive master & I & it took us for a ride ...in just a few miniutes we looked at the depth gauge and we were at 185 feet ...not good... but we were 1/2 mile from the dang boat...very not good...lol

~!~

We hung our tanks on a bouy and swam back to boat...lucky i was with the dive master... it was worth the trip & if u ever get to bonair U must see the Cactus desert...it is the most quiet place on earth

[slavedestiny]

@HoodwinkedbyanAngel WOaH... That's soo cool ... I saw some rays when I was canoeing just a week ago and it's not even half 10ft.. Lol... I'll try to go for a visit if I could and maybe go diving or something =) thanks alot

[EmjayZarakay]

are mantas poisonous like other rays?

[marcooandnohelii]

it has a fishy on it :P

[DeathAngel84299]

youd think it would get annoying

[Arthurb06]

the creature is beautiful and so is this song, Santana have some great songs

[bulletproof4life]

it looks so graceful

[DRYH2010]

its black magic woman

[teamFUNIMATO]

Ahhhh....Good memories....

[ITALDONNABUTTERFLY]

kewl - wish that was me

[TwynnOG]

those thjings are fuckin huge right? somethin likew a 20 ft wingspan?

[jare1234]

Me to I love mantas.

[yellabus]

It's so beautiful...But at the same time seriously scares the crap outta me.

[zingtea]

Looks like this ray was scared of the bubbles and was always swimming away from that person with it.

[silverblaknite]

awesome!! nice carlos Santana song (i think its carlos santana)

[wongcpa8]

Santana Song - Black Magic Woman. The manta stayed & circled around until we ran out of air & had to surface. The manta also followed us to the surface & sticked about 2 feet worth of its wing & flapped goodbye.

[sexyskaterforgo]

the song is on guitar hero 3

[danielqueo]

OMG!is huge! nice vid dude

[Domifiq]

wow.. however stve died cos of tis creature cuz.. well its just too bad.. aniwae MUSE rocks... ((:

[wongcpa8]

Manta is not harmful. I think it is the only ray in the world does not have a venomous barb for not having a nature enemy for generations.

[vitalscuba]

Dive is quite the air hog, lol.

[silver2999]

nice one mate, what an experience ! cool music as well

[mattfasl]

Wow, what a huge manta ray! They are beautiful creatures! Great vid!

[wongcpa8]

It was a dive trip at Revillegagido [or Socorro] Islands Group, Mexico. The site is The Boiler, San Benedicto Island. Recommended dive boat - Nautilus Explorer. Have fun & enjoy.
