These creatures seem peaceful but then still how can you go so so close to them? How can you not scare to such a huge fish?
@AtraxJoe

@@shirshN seriously? 1. u can't get that close to them if they (the mantas) don't want, 2. Not you are going that close, the mantas do and 3. fear is just a result of ignorance (eg this situation). Why should someone be scared of something like a peaceful plankton eating creature? Even facing a shark u don't have to be scared if u know what ure doing. Don't be scared, be respectful 👌. Cheers.

They’re the eagles of the ocean. They’re so beautiful 😍❤️
I came here after an extremely vivid dream I had about cliff diving into the most beautiful blue clear/blue water and having a close encounter with a giant manta ray. It was so real and I became lucid (realized i was dreaming). On top of that, I had my two daughters with me (my reason for living) and we could all breath under the water as we swam in this heavenly water with this beautiful creature. It was one of the most amazing dreams I ever had. After I woke up, I had to look that dream up, and I was blown away by the coincidences that connected my wake life to the dream interpretation.

Manta Rays are fantastic animals.... pretty amazing
Why am i crying watching this 😭 they just look so majestic swimming around the ocean. In my next life i'd like to be a manta ray.
Cinematography is easily as accomplished as the Blue planet. Should have been way more recognised.
Some people: "It's so beautiful! What an experience!" Some other people: "It looks like the devil himself! What an ominous creature to be close to!" Ray: "Hello."
One word that describes Manta Rays: ✨MAJESTIC✨
Swam with some of these beasts near Komodo. I don't dive, but we saw close to a dozen swimming around us near the surface! One of the most amazing things I have ever experienced.

I cannot explain what it is about this show. I discovered it by accident on some backwater channel several years ago and it really blew me away. Never has anything or anyone inspired me to get out and travel like descending has. I do feel a little bummed at times watching though because Scott and Ellis and the rest of the gang not only seem like the luckiest divers in the world getting to hit all these amazing dive sites around the world that I'll never see they also have so much fun doing it. Makes one wish one were there for the party cause even if one had the time, money, and training to dive all the same sites, it wouldn't be half as cool without Ellis' charisma or Anna's lighting setting the scene.
big man real
Truly unique and beautiful creatures.
Just wow. The way they just glide. And the black one was so cool.
Seems like they're curious creatures!

Wow! How beautiful. Stunning and majestic creatures. Enjoy swimming with divers. Thank you.
Love, love, love this! So magical.
This is just so beautiful. I just smiled the entire time.
Those creatures are so amazing!! This world is great but we the humans always we are ruining this place every day😪
Beautiful gentle giants, should be protected at all costs.
Such amazing creatures gosh I love the ocean and it's life
This is brilliant! Manta rays are definitely one for the bucket list!
Those were amazing creatures I've never seen this video until now.
that's quite a big majestic sea flap flap
Wow, just stunning!
Such a beautiful creature
I was snorkeling in the bay in Miami FL and a huge Ray was on the floor and took off right in front of me it was such a wonderful site! I will never forget it.
Soooooo fascinating. One had a black belly, rather rare!! Thanks a million for this footage
I love Manta Rays
Beautiful creature..
What an incredible experience! 💙
the videos is excellent, we can see underwater creatures clearly.That manta rays are beautiful and majestic.They are flying in the deep.
What a beautiful creature 😮 nature is so amazing.
What an amazing creature...
the underwater interactions like these always get me emotional lol
One day Im gonna swim with manta rays! beautiful creatures!
What a beautiful world it’s a shame we’re tearing it apart 💔
These are such beautiful creations of the Lord. Amen
Giant sea blankies are so curious and adorable!
what a beautiful creature. Of all the sea creatures in oceans, Manta Rays are about the most favorite. Right next to the Groupers and French Angelfish and Lionfish.
Such an awesome vid 😍😍😍
Mother nature is the best designer of all time, no man-made machine would ever match the graceful and elegant shape, proportions and movement of a big ray.
Oh their so beautiful, I could watch them all day
I was so sad when the series was taken off Netflix I’ve watched ever episode 5 times or more. I love you guys what are you up to these days? I hope still traveling I miss new footage
2:50 *HOLY SHIT*
Beautiful creatures
One like this was hanging out in my region in Brazil a few days ago (June 20, 2024). Amazing!!!
this is one of my favorite youtube video ever. especially the part when the diver is copying mantas moves
Amazing creatures. Alien like
They are basically the angels of the ocean, wholesome big bastards.
The biggest manta I ever saw was on a trip to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina on shipwreck dives about 23 years ago. One had to have at least a 20 foot/6 meter wingspan. Several others there were also larger than I've seen elsewhere over about 30 years of diving.
Wow!! Thank you for sharing this ❤...I'm not crying
Such a warm and beautiful experience to share with the world :)))
What a profound experience!
They're beautiful & majestic!
Absolutely marvelous
Spectacular
Such a Beautiful ray !!
Beautiful...sting way is like wow big bro
Juz meet them during snorkeling in Nusa Penida, Bali... They are majestic.. yet somehow their size is quite frightening.. They’re truly, the ghost of the sea!
Beautiful giant Manta Rays ❤ , also beautiful Video.

Hey Mark, we have solid plans to get Descending on Netflix hopefully by the new year. If your in the States you can already watch it on OutsideTV. It's available for download from iTunes pretty much anywhere. We also plan to release it here on KZread for rental and purchase for those who want to see it in 4K / UHD the way it was shot.

Just finished departures on Netflix too, gutted it's over, loved the entire thing start to finish, particularly liked the lack of pretence in how it comes across to the viewer, definitely gives more of an embedded feel for the viewer, you get a real sense that humidity and mosquitos are a bother and not an overly polished scripted travel show that paints a constant rose tinted picture, elongated travelling is gritty and that's what makes it real, perfectly delivered by the hosts, stomach cramps and all.
Amazing! So beautiful ❤
fantastic creatures!
Cuuute
I just wanted to know more about the Manta rays in general, but it feels like this video left me with so much more. Their decent seemed so beautiful and fulfilling! Now interested in diving since I’m unable to swim properly. Might as well sink with an O2 tank and take in the views LOL
Beautiful for sure, but sinister-looking to me, and a bit too big for comfort, no matter how lovely they are. Thank you.
The only word comes to my mind when I see then is majestic seriously they r like the lions of the seas
THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!
Amazing❤
Still waiting for Descending Season 2. This series got me serious about diving, 5-6 years ago.
Very cool!
Very cool 😎
I cried. Even me Indonesian wasn’t be able to go to Raja Ampat. Hope I will be there someday.
