Mantas Last Dance

[Viking Sailor]

A little something for all us sea creatures --

Giant mantas, 'sea gypsy' share dance in stunning, one-of-a-kind film

Enjoy,

Very nice. Who would have thought you could do that? Well, I couldn't do that...

Thanks for passing it on.

Beautiful choreography.

I have snorkelled with a giant manta ray in Blue Pearl Bay, Hayman Island in the Whitsundays (NE Australia) and it was the most unforgettable experience. The ray maintained my pace about a metre and a half below me, slowing down or speeding up as I did for around half an hour (turtles occasionally do that there as well). Absolutely magical creatures and a magical experience!

way cheeeesy for me

I prefer real mantas doing their own thing when they come. They do not come often though.

I've ridden on the backs of these magnificent creatures in Hawaii, North Carolina, and Key West. It's like they barely notice you. As for the "professional model-mermaid", well, it's interpretive dance which one may/may not have a liking. Hooey is in the mind of the beholder.
