DESCENDING 4K | S1 E12 | The Giant Manta Rays

majestic sea flap flap

One of the coolest creatures on the planet for sure. Every time I see one it always seem like they're smiling. Just radiates peace.

Despite my wife's paranoid concerns, swimming with manta rays is one of my top Bucket List items.

that actually brought tears to my eyes that was extraordinary

I was fortunate enough to have a pod/school Of Manta Rays swim underneath me, about 20-30 of them. But this encounter is pure magic! How lucky & beautiful guys. Cheers!!

OMG, it was nearly completely black ! You guys must be lucky to encounter a melanist manta ray - I heard they are quite rare. Majestic experience, I'm envious as hell))

I came here after an extremely vivid dream I had about cliff diving into the most beautiful blue clear/blue water and having a close encounter with a giant manta ray. It was so real and I became lucid (realized i was dreaming). On top of that, I had my two daughters with me (my reason for living) and we could all breath under the water as we swam in this heavenly water with this beautiful creature. It was one of the most amazing dreams I ever had. After I woke up, I had to look that dream up, and I was blown away by the coincidences that connected my wake life to the dream interpretation.

My favorite marine animal as a kid. I had forgotten about these animals. They are truly one of the most majestic creatures to ever have existed.

Cinematography is easily as accomplished as the Blue planet. Should have been way more recognised.

Some people: "It's so beautiful! What an experience!" Some other people: "It looks like the devil himself! What an ominous creature to be close to!" Ray: "Hello."

Why am i crying watching this 😭 they just look so majestic swimming around the ocean. In my next life i'd like to be a manta ray.

Truly unique and beautiful creatures.

One word that describes Manta Rays: ✨MAJESTIC✨

Swam with some of these beasts near Komodo. I don't dive, but we saw close to a dozen swimming around us near the surface! One of the most amazing things I have ever experienced.

Seems like they're curious creatures!

Manta Ray: who is this two legged crap?

I cannot explain what it is about this show. I discovered it by accident on some backwater channel several years ago and it really blew me away. Never has anything or anyone inspired me to get out and travel like descending has. I do feel a little bummed at times watching though because Scott and Ellis and the rest of the gang not only seem like the luckiest divers in the world getting to hit all these amazing dive sites around the world that I'll never see they also have so much fun doing it. Makes one wish one were there for the party cause even if one had the time, money, and training to dive all the same sites, it wouldn't be half as cool without Ellis' charisma or Anna's lighting setting the scene.

Just wow. The way they just glide. And the black one was so cool.

That was beautiful! I cried when the Manta Ray slowly floated on top of you. I could only imagine what that felt like to be so close & connected to such a majestic creature ❤️

I think I have found a new favorite animal :D
