Manta Ray Night Dive


We went with Big Island Divers out to the Manta Ray night dive site.  It's an amazing experience.  Dozens of boats cooperating to attract these giant graceful creatures.  Mantas feed on plankton, and plankton are attracted to light.  The dive companies set up high powered lamps at the bottom of the bay, and the divers all carry lights.  The more light the more rays.  We saw three rays this night.  The video below is from a professional who dives this site ever night.  Way better than what I could film.  Enjoy.
