Mantas & AOW 2

Top pic is of me (with back towards you) with mantas in the background - that's a huge manta ray wing just above my head!. Mantas' wing span varies - those that we saw ranged from about 10' to almost 25+'! Bottom pic is another of these incredible beasts. Again, too bad there was so much algae in the water - it "fogs" pics. They like to cruise just above divers because exhaled bubbles helps "rinse" parasites from their tender skins - making such "close-up" experiences memorable and just plain awesome!
