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.
@@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

One of the most magical experiences there is. Thank you for sharing.

This dive is a surreal experience, and this video captures it very nicely
Just did that dive last month. It's amazing! Thanks for the awesome video!
Thanks for posting such a great video. Did this dive last week. Just unreal. Reason enough to get certified.

Fabulous! We did the snorkel, as we're not divers. Loved the trip.
Fantastic
Such a breathtaking dive.
Wonderful.Good effort the video is fantastic
Amazing!!!!!
Well done!
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.
This looks awesome. Going to do this monday after monday night football at Kona Brewing. Any tips?
this reminds me of Let it Go for some reason lol. Probably because of the blue lights everywhere
Amazing footage, could you tell me what your depth was?
Did it too! Going again may 2020.
good times, don't touch ~~~
what is the best company to use to go snorkel with the manta at night?
I did this last week in Kona. It was surreal. I saw 4.
Sweet Seconds hi can I ask how deep was it? do I have to be a dive master or advanced open water is fine to.see this?

Alan Leong just open water certification is needed , nothing special.
which night dive location is this? Village, Heaven, or Wiakola?
What company did y'all use? Interested in doing it in a few weeks
Amazing!!! How much does it cost?
It's cheap around 100 dollars but if you bring up other places you can find good cheap deals definitely worth it

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.
