Thanks for sharing, such a great trip. I love the photos. I also would love to swim next to a manta ray. They just look amazing, I was reading on a book that the mantas are harmless.

Oh a ray...the animal that killed Steve Irwin cry
Steve was killed by the smaller version the stingray, pic from Wikipedia:

The giant mantas are suppose to be harmless

Mantas are usually harmless!
Steve is the only known case of a manta attacking a human as far as i know.

The mantas we saw at that paticular day were MASSIVE. We only went there to see the mantas in the first place - there isnt much other stuff around except a few rocks and the odd fish...
We were diving with a group of about 5 mantas of which the biggest one is on the photo with Julia (the diver below)
She was filming at the same time as well (not sure if u can actually see the camera on the pic...)

Mmm I don't think so. I had to make a presentation about Steve Irwin's life. I found out that Steve's death is the only attack caught on camera but not the only one.

Yeah, "normally" these animals are considered harmless...but that's a very wide idea. They have instincts and they have a defence mechanism. Sooner or later they'll use it. Just look at Steve now.
