great video - but can't wait for the uk edition where the visibility is 20cm and then a turd comes out the mist.

Very good.

I think you need to edit out the plastic bag footage.

When the Huge Manta arrived on the scene, I would have been back in the boat.

Anything that lives in the sea and is bigger than me, I try to avoid.

i have some questions,


werent you scared with all those weird plants and fish?

do they tell you not to panic?

why arent the animals scared of you?

stunning vid

What a lovely video, thanks for that.

We get Basking sharks along our coastline and when I am out fishing in my boat we often see them. They are anything up to 30' long so like Yoza, when I see the sharks fin cruising by I get a bit twitched too since my 18 footer is not much of a match for one of those if it decides to bump the boat as they sometimes do! Its a good idea never to hook one!

thanks for the kind comments

the mantas were massive and came pretty close - as you could see! but compared to a tetchy titan trigger fish, they're pretty shy kittens really.

mantas aint aggressive but it is a humbling being in front of something that could kill you without you being able to get away. I get more scared snorkelling as i think i can get away. diving you know you cant.
