Black Manta Stage Show

The Black Manta's of Raja Ampat are something to be seen. With their massive wings spanning up to 5metres and whole black bodies, these gentle giants are majestic and incredible. 

This particular dive site, Manta’s Ridge, is where these giant oceanic mantas are well known to frequent. And on this day, they entered the site like they were entering a stage. Literally, it was like the first manta, ‘the director’ came out first to check the crowd had arrived, and then just moments later a line-up of manta rays, both reef and oceanic, entered from stage left. Two, three, four, five, six, seven... more and more appeared, to start the show.

They continued to gracefully swim around us, getting so close we could see every mark and freckle on their bellies. Not bothered at all by our presence. They let the current hold them still as they took full advantage of the mutually beneficial, symbiotic relationship they hold with the cleaner fish that meet on site to perform this very important service!

This particular dive site is well known for its strong currents, and just as briefed, we were hooked on to the rock wall to ensure we didn’t take off. The currents are so wild you literally disappear into the blue if you let go, or your hook comes off. So, hold on (and don’t trash the camera!).
