Kona Manta Ray Night Dive

Manta ray night dive on the Big Island. HD taken with a Canon 5DmkII 15mm fisheye lens using a Kenko 1.4 teleconverter in a Sea & Sea housing with a dome port. Some noise due to ISO 800 setting.

    I did this dive years ago and it was nothing short of surreal. The Mantas are like Cirque de Soleil above you. Their bellies graze the top of your head! I strongly recommend sharing this with people you are close to, its other - worldly! Thanks for the great footage.

    Just did this trip two days ago and I am happy to report that the manta with the broken right fin rolling in the bubble stream on the left side of the video at around 28-36 seconds in is still there.

    Did you use a red or yellow lens filter at all? I can't wait to go on this dive, and I want to make sure I get the best shot possible.

    It's cheap around 100 dollars but if you bring up other places you can find good cheap deals definitely worth it

    @@bboyalanleung123 It's probably about 30 feet. You'll just be floating on top of the water. You can have a floater if you can't swim. No scuba cert needed.

    looks like 20 divers all shining bright lights on a few poor mantas.. they look pretty disturbed and stressed. Like many things in nature, they should be left alone and not disturbed by 20+ divers every night. Sad to see

    They could leave if they wanted to. The lights attract fish, and the Mantas basically just get a free easy meal.

    They are feeding not stressed. Light brings the plankton.
