Diving with Manta Rays on Big Island, Hawaii

Posted under Hawaii & Holidays

From the 25th of December 2012 until the 10th of January 2013 I was on Holiday on Hawaii.

While staying on Big Island, I had the pleasure of doing a Manta Ray night dive with Jack’s Diving Locker.

Thanks to Greg Mclaughlin the man behind, the excellent iOS Dive Log program, for suggesting that dive company.

I was trying to film the Manta Rays with my brand new HD GoPro 3 Black Edition camera. My diving light was to bright, so some of the video has to much light.

This was my first try to film underwater, and also the first time I ever edited a video :-)

While filming Manta Rays, one of them wanted to be the film instructor instead of the actor.

A third species of Manta Rays

Posted under Environment

I just found this interesting article about Manta Rays.

When i was in Sharm in end of June, I was at a presentation about Manta Rays.

Were interesting, and also very choking about how the manta rays are being hunted, simply to have their fin used in shark fin soup, where the fins only work to make the soup thicker, no taste at all.

The presentation was done by Manta Queen, Dr. Andrea Marshall who has been studying the Manta Rays for many years.
