Comment on Female manta ray recognizes the scientist who saved her life by Carol

Wonderful wonderful Guy: About 1 years ago in Hawaii I came across a Manta and dove off the boat alone and started swimming with it. I only had a snorkel but when I’d dive, it would dive. I’d glide next to it with my fingertips almost touching the Manta’s wingtips but it never let me touch it. I didn’t try to hard. For about 45 minutes we did out watery ballet. Then it swam away. As I swam back to the boat a friend on board said, “here he comes. He’s following you.” I looked behind me and there it was, as if to say, “noooo. Don’t leave. I still want to play.” I just saw Queen of the Manta’s and want to hop a plane to swim with them, so many. The most I’ve swum with is about 10.

I fear the Chinese coming to Africa: for the mantas, elephants. cheetahs, all animals. A tragedy looms, and what is so frightening is how fast they are “invading.” They seem to have no use for animals except to eat them. God help our fragile planet.

I agree with Robert. These Rays are Cownose Rays, otherwise known as Golden Rays. There’s a chain email going around with this picture and more of the the same migration.

Hi, I recently started a bloghosting platform (based on wordpress MU) and when I stumbled your blog I paid attention to your theme (looking good) so I was wondering can you tell me is it custom made theme or one of those free ones? thanks in advance! regards, blogiskewl

Photographer team Yogi and Stella Freund just captured these amazing images of manta rays in Raja Ampat, Papua, during their 18-month photo expedition across the Coral Triangle. Very much worth checking out!

ive been a diver for many years now.im 38 and my most wonderful experiences have been with sharks and mantas.every time i meet a new manta its like making a new beautiful best friend and they move me to tears every time.ive met mantas all over the world but they are all different in so many ways,different personalities.ive been lucky with my experiences because they have all been as fascinated by me as i have been with them.i think they liked me so much because they felt how emotional i was at there beauty.an now they are getting chopped up into soup with the millions of sharks that are killed every year.breaks my heart xx
