Huge manta ray stretches its 'wings' over a reef

http://www.earth-touch.com Manta rays are the earth's largest ray species. Watch as the Earth-Touch crew dives down to swim with one of these elegant animals as it circles slowly over a beautiful coral reef.

Cameraman Grant Brokensha encounters one of his favourite ocean creatures during a dive at Stringer Reef in South Africa's Sodwana Bay. The manta ray swims leisurely as cleaner wrasse remove parasites from her huge body.

Great video... I am scheduled to dive here (8 dives) in July, 2011... I don't think that the mantas are usually there at that time of the year... hope to see some great wildlife all the same... thanks for posting.
