    I have dived all over the world and Komodo is by far my favorite
    place. It is even better than Raja, IMHO.

    Nice couple of mantas in a cleaning station being worked over by some wrasses and really nice clear water visibility too. Well done!

    Plus it looks like it was all in just ~10fsw .. probably a safety stop at the end of the dive?

    The Hawaiian manta I had with some angles cleaning it from last fall didn't have such
    nice water clarity ... and my UW camera was set up for macro! But still much better
    than looking at the usual fare.

    I can't believe it has been a year since I posted this.

    Yes, it was the end of the dive and the sun was just right. The
    visibility actually sucked buy my wide angle Inon lens and the shallow
    depth came together to make the best video I think I have ever shot.
    You would never believe how close I actually was with 150 degrees of
    lens!!!
