WOW !!! Beautiful pics !!! I was down below Rooikrans Ledges spearing when a huge grey shadow loomed over me, my first reaction was to prepare for a meeting with a GW, but it turned out to be a giant ray. They have subsequently become some of my favourite creatures, so really enjoy your pics - thanks for posting !!

nooo.... in any case these mantas are the same mantas every year... their markings are recorded. (perhaps they know us) 
they come really close, they are so curious.
are you jeering at my scuba dummy?

HAHAHAHA
No worries Ed.
I would have liked to have been in star wars even as jabba the hut
So you guys know, I only shoot fish for my families consumption.
I have a big family
but would never shoot an endangered species
The monkfish is one of the best eating fish in the sea. The reason I never order it in restaurants is that the fishing methids used for these species destroys the seabed and many other non-commercial fish.
At least I know that the one I caught was the only fish that died in the process.

Mantas!
Great Pics, Island Sands! I haven't seen a Manta up-close and personal since snorkeling in Fiji a few years ago: jumped in with some scuba divers and looked down--- a Manta was within 6-7 feet of the surface right under me. Startled for a second, I was so glad I had reviewed my 'flora and fauna' before going in and knew what it was.....they are so impressive. Graceful movements...majestic is just the right word, like you said...to describe how they swim...
