I think she has one of the best jobs in the world.

They may be called devilfish, but they're more like the gentle kind blankets of the sea to me.

oH. MY GOD... before I saw the manta and whale sharks swimming together I was literally gonna say those are my two fav marine animals..... im crying I wish I was there!!!!!!

The quality and amount of content this channel has is unmatchable

"...for asian tonics" god dammit why is it always asian tonics.

The sad thing is that the friendly types of Manta Rays are going extinct due to them being easily fished by their friendliness and it left the reclusive types of manta rays in the gene pool, in the next 50 years it wouldn't be surprising if we wouldn't be able to interact with them anymore due to all ray with friendly personality has all been fished out. Just like the increase of tuskless elephant population in Africa.

I wonder if surfing on manta rays is possible just like in Super Mario Galaxy.
-
I always love swimming because it almost looks like flying. And see a Manta “flap its wings” just adds to that thought.
-
what an amazing job, must be so good for the soul. 1. she gets to immerse with nature, de stressing compared to e.g. office jobs with deliverable deadlines staring at a computer screen for 14 hours a day. 2. she has a noble inspiring purpose everyday to get up to save/protect these precious marine wonders

You guys got Andrea Marshall? She's a titan when it comes to manta rays, huge fan of the species- thanks for making this video.

Manta rays are so fascinating and the way she describes them makes me wanna cry. Like I crave being near them

This channel deserves more subs. They put so much hard work and effort into their videos and it really makes a difference.

My brother and I go to Hawaii with our parents to see them in the wild. They love the reef. And they love people. They are scary at first, but they are so gentle.
-
Amazing animals, i hope scientists can protect them for the many threats.

I had the amazing experience to interact with a Manta Ray off the Kona Coast in Hawaii. It was at night, in a lighted area. It kept doing summer salts in front of me, within an inch of my body. It did this over and over. The mouth was wide open and I’m sure it was feeding. I couldn’t figure out why it kept banking so close to me. I certainly didn’t mind. It was amazing.

You are not petting a manta ray, you are petting a undersea ufo.

Aww the manta ray got some belly scratches 🥺
