Drone Footage of Mobula Rays Jumping Into The Air in the Sea of Cortez: An Incredible Experience.

- In Part 1 of my journey into the Sea of Cortez, I focus on the two most common rays in the Sea of Cortez. The Cownose Ray and the Mobula Ray. Both are incredibly beautiful. Mobula Rays are sometimes called flying rays, thanks to their acrobatic leaping. But scientists are not sure exactly why they do it. In this video, I showcase these jumps and discuss a few things you may not have known about these magnificent fish.
Thanks to the crew of the Gallant Lady.

I've seen them before. At night you all you hear are these surprisingly loud claps as they belly flop on the oceans surface. Peaceful and not being afraid of humans, I pray humanity never finds a need to hunt and decimate these beautiful creatures.
That shot of the cownose rays diving into the deep was mesmerizing, I could watch it over and over.
Same, I lost my breath.
Reporter: So why do you guys do that weird jump out of the water thing?
Ray: .. It's fun.
You know how you have awards for films. Do they have one for amazing TH-cam videos/ documentaries? Man you would be at the top of the list sir!!!
Your video presentation, narration and subjects (sharks and coastline) are superb and second to no one.
Man if I were National Geographic or Nature I would be scooping you up and have you make some amazing shows/episodes/documentaries!!!!
Beautiful. Just beautiful. I have no other words..
They look like they’re flying, absolutely beautiful
I love your channel, and your photography is just simply breathtaking. Your capturing of the video footage of the wonderous sealife is so relaxing and fun to watch. The Rays look like dancing diamonds in the surf. Love it!
I saw this while fishing in Cabo San Lucas in April some years back. The school was as far as the eye could see, absolutely amazing! The captain said, the jumping was for cleaning purposes.
Literally cried while watching these magnificent rays...
Thank you for sharing this amazing video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you and very much honored it touched you.
My health has made it such that I can never go to the ocean I love so much again. Thank you so much for taking me there.
That was INCREDIBLE! Espesially from the drone! I now definetly wanting to go there to see this!Its so incredible to see not dolphin, but Ray stampedes! I never thought I'd see! Can't wait for the next Sea of Cortes video!
Thanks for this video. On one of your other videos of the cownose I mentioned I was diving under the rays. I was not sure of the species but as I watched this video and the jumping rays it brought back the slapping sound that caught our attention to flip over and look up. In the video where you filmed the cownose in deep water it look as though they were flying, however they were in water. To answer your question at the beginning of the video......its the Ocean. Thanks for sharing your passion to all of us. The ocean is a magnificent wonder.
Beautiful creatures
Love your vids
Me too! 🐟🐠🐡🐾❤️🆒☮️
That was awesome my man. Never seen that before. Pretty cool how you keep teaching me something I've never known on every vlog. Thank you sir!!
Been waiting to hear your voice!!!💥💥
This is some of the most incredible footage I have ever seen..national geographic doesn't have anything on you friend...beautiful..spectacular work
Incredible! I had the pleasure of seeing jumping mobula rays in early June this year in Todos Santos, BCS. I wasn’t sure what they were at first, so beautiful!
Wow, thanks for the great footage and information!
Thank you so much for that! It's Living art, appreciate you for presenting it to us.
AMAZING footage good sir!! I live in Yuma, AZ and I hope to be able to make it down to the Sea of Cortez soon! I'd love to go with a group of people and see these BEAUTIFUL creatures! We must do what we can to protect all the creatures in the Ocean's. 👍👍
i'm on my last year in college, and i had a research about mobula rays in palabuhanratu, indonesia. mobula rays are often accidentally catched by small scales tuna fisheries.. so awesome to see them alive in the ocean, thankyou for this video!!!
This was breathtaking.....thank you for filming it!!
Thank you another beautiful film 💕
this video is absolutely stunning
The best thing I've seen this morning of the other creatures with whom we 💙SHARE💙 this planet 🌊
Always Awesome💙🌊
Speechless.
I can only say Thank You for this footage
Wow they really are magical creatures to watch and so elegant thanks again 4 another brilliant beautiful video 💙🌊
Love your output. So amazing. Such great filming. Thank you!
Absolutely stunning videos. A real pleasure to watch and incredibly relaxing! I have just watched four one after the other. I loved the rays.
I had an encounter with some sting rays which had been fed regularly at a beach in the Caribbean islands. They are incredible and love to rub their wings against tourists legs as they are hand fed. I would never have had such an experience and learnt more about them had I not attended the tour.
We have basking sharks around the south coast of England. Also some whales will swim by coming up off of the warm Gulf Stream waters. I expect there are numerous species out there which swim our seas that I haven't heard about.
Thank you for filming these beautiful creatures. I too am saddened about the amount of rubbish and plastics in the oceans. It's heartbreaking.
I have no words to describe this. I am speechless! Thank you for sharing this beautiful creature with us. Oh, and btw....your voice is just as magical! You need to start getting some docs under your belt!!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience ❤ I’m in La Paz BCS and saw a Mobula and I loved it immediately
Amazing nature, thanks for the great vids
Wow! The Rays are spectacular, particularly the Mobular Rays. I just found your utube site & subbed. From a CA born & raised ocean gal (and a retired sailor, surfer, diver). Many thanks for showing all of us the beauty of the sea. From, Lindsay, Sacramento, CA ❤
Yay!! Love Mobula Rays and this channel!! Can’t wait for it tomorrow!! Definitely going to watch the live premiere and make another comment after I watch it! Btw, when you are close to 100k subs, I’ll film the moment that you hit 100k! You totally deserve it!
That was incredible. I witnessed those flying rays at our San Jose del Cabos time share years ago in October. Wow so cool.
That is beyond words beautiful!
Que maravilla de video, muchas gracias por deleitarnos con estas fabulosas criaturas del mar. Un abrazo desde Cali Colombia.
How beautiful like kites in the sea dancing. 😊 Thank You
How very fascinating! I've never even seen this on any nature show documentary on TV. 🌊🙂
Their geometric shape makes them very cool to watch in big schools.
Magical 😍
Trully wonderful ! Many thanks for your dedication and enthusiasm
WOW 🤩. This is quite unexpected from a ray. Thank you 😊
I had no idea what I was looking at on the thumbnail til I read the title. Wicked

So well done. I look forward to the next, and many others.

It’s as if the National Geographic dude quit his job and started his own TH-cam channel, great videos man!
Youre so blessed. Love your vids. Wish I had your life. Thank you for sharing all this 👍
In Florida, East Coast, there was a huge fever of them on the shore, and they all surrounded my legs. One of the most incredible things i've experienced. We have a bunch of pictures of it. We did see a larger fish near by, could have been a small shark.
Absolutely stunning ! Thank u for sharing
This video deserves way more views
This is the second video of yours that I watched. Yeah, I had to subscribe. I am loving what I am seeing! ❤

Wow!
i loooooove your channel
WOW 🤩
👍👍!
they are special creatures
This is crazy footage. I dunno how much you travel but I surf trestles almost everyday when it’s good and almost every person I’ve surfed with the past two weeks has seen a shark up close or sharks breaching within 100-200 yards of Lowers. It’s been highly abnormal behavior from what I know. There’s even been a few incidents of sharks surfacing right in the middle of the lineup that I’ve seen personally and probably many more incidents idk? I’m just one person but I’ve never had to deal with sharks this up close and personal on a consistent basis in 15 years of surfing So Cal.
Thinking I may go there this weekend.
Zero Dislikes. Hope in humanity restored!
This footage is stunning! What equipment do you use to get such clear video from so far away?
Do you share what drone you use?? :)Amazing footage
