These are all shitty divers, they must have feel asleep during their class where they were taught not to chase/touch/harass wild life. Its shitty divers like these that ruin it for responsible divers.

[rwakos123]

i agree with you!!

[shanefree1977]

lets all chase the manta for a photo, dum ass!

[iluvthewildlife]

the only danger for any animal (exept plankton) is their large flapping fins/wings, I think they`re amazing and would LOVE to swim with one ;)

[gscribs03]

CRAZY VIDEO! Hey...I recently took some footage of Whales Attacked under my YouTube account. Chewck it out...

[FLR2008]

manta rays scare the s*** out of me,i'm a diver and thank god i've never seen one yet..

[061369540]

your first manta sighting will bring a tear to your eye whether your male or female,so big,so gracious and shy,go to little brother Redsea,there is a manta resident there,4.3 metres wing to wing,must tell you there is lots of shark there,check my video 061369540 on youtube

[ShadowXT8]

Saw one for first time in north red sea at Small fasma dive site, very rare there. Was absolutely fantastic.

[iluvthewildlife]

even though they grow at least 20 feet long, they`re harmless to humans, exept for when their flapping their wings/fins around.

[Crem2057]

looks like a cleaner fish stuck to the manta if you ask me o___O

[amaziakeidar]

stupid divers... Shame on you!

[omega5811]

as long as you keep away from the eyes its pretty much fine they dont seem to mind at all, there very gentle for animal nearly 5000 lbs

[shadowfox295]

cool vid. but rachaelmarie is rite

[hubhub27]

i hope the ray ate those divers

[Desopilar]

I figured that they were baby whale sharks. But i guess they stay with their mothers until a certain time.

[gnarlycoo]

There is virtually nothing known about baby whale sharks. here is also uncertainty regarding the birth process, if they lay eggs or not. There was a whale shark egg found off mexico in 1953 (possibly aborted)- but apart from that the smallest whale shark ever reported was already 3 feet or so!

[Desopilar]

O wow. I didn't even realize that. I guess they're kinda hard to research? lol

[mikeverrengia07]

ok a whale shark is a huge ass shark with spots on it dumbass

[TheMagnificentHazo]

No whale sharks here... learn your zoology before you go diving again.

[xXAkridXx]

Too bad it wasn't a sting ray, could of killed them all.

[rachaelmarie86]

good video... until the ignorant divers start harrassing the ray. Mantas have a layer of mucus protecting them from bacteria and disease. touching them breaks this layer and puts them at rick to disease.... well done

[thebigheadkid1]

maybe in spanish, whale means remora, and attack means ride

[OoOBlueMoonOoO]

Poor MantaRays...

[Delanelano]

Those arn't whale sharks, there remoras

[jasper309]

what whale sharks?

[scubapixelpixie]

There's no Whalesharks in this video and it's sad to see the divers harassing the mantas like that. Have some respect!

[2528439]

@scubapixelpixie its the baby whale shark on the mantas back

[sigsauer12]

No whale sharks in this.

[Lungyao1]

They are just catching a ride...

[TheTartOFDoom]

Manta rays are beautiful creatures its like they fly in the water, just beautiful to look at

[baysacrazy]

why does this say it "attack 2 whale shark"? there didn't seem to be any attack.

[DCDW22]

Kinda crazy getting that close to it's stinger...

[ShinyFloatzel]

It's actually a tail. And, I don't think the Manta Ray has a barb on its tail.

[hatline92]

they dont, that would be a sting ray

[OLDMANBADGER]

Mantas dont have a stinger . i would love to see them in the wild

[staffer11]

did i miss the attack ?

[andycath67]

the only attacking i can see is the scuba divers on the manta ray. they are causing it distress.

[sharksrock19]

hunh?

[lajeviva]

Cirão, show, pra variar!! Seus videos das Mantas são espetaculares. Olhei todos os emails que mandou e agora fazemos parte da Manta Network e cadastrei oficialmente a Laje de Santos como ponto de estudo e avistagens das Raias Jamanta. Valeu a força. abraços. Gui Kodja
