Manta Ray

Just have to sit and wait for the winged giants to appear. Sitting isn’t so easy in the ripping current though. Thank god for hooks. The mantas like to swim around in your bubbles so you just have to wait for them to come to you.  We stayed and dove out of the Ticao Island Resort, a fabulous dive destination.  Our guide Jan Esteban was a tremendous help and so was the whole dive crew and hotel staff.      http://www.ticao-island-resort.com/

All photos were taken with a Nikon D810 in an Ikelite housing using the Ikelite DS161 strobes and BigBlue video lights implementing Ultralight Camera Solutions arms & clamps.
