Manta Rescue

[@ginibriggs4777]

I have been diving with mantas all over the world. While they aren’t afraid of divers, they don’t usually slow down and let you approach them. Which tells me this one really knew you wanted to help. Good on you!!

[@bluecornerdivenusapenida65]

thank you :)

[@baremeen]

Awesome guys ! I thank you On behalf of the adorable Manta. ❤ from India 🇮🇳

Heart warming Cinematography. Fearless workers. Be blessed in all you do.

[@cherrylgibson6714]

Thank you very much for helping this beautiful animal. ❤️ I wish that we could clear the oceans of litter. 💔

[@TREADtheglobe]

Wow ..... that is so amazing !! and Jason signing to the Manta ..... just awesome .... you know you are our hero !! but this is just superb, heart warming and beautiful stuff !! love you dude

[@bluecornerdivenusapenida65]

Awwwwww you guys... :)

[@AdeptusChaoticus]

I want to thank you for playing the original audio so we viewers can see and hear your experience.

[@ConcreteJungle95]

"The manta wanted some social distancing" ahahah. Great job guys

[@blackopal3138]

Wow. What an animal. She definitely knew you could help her. A wild animal exposing their belly to multiple members of a large species?! That's amazing. Great job to the divers, gazillion karma points. An octopus might have been able to help her, I wonder if she asked any, lol. My point is, it's like she knew not only you could take them off, but that they were from us to begin with. Truly, astonishing. Obviously, underrated, high intelligence in these animals. Again, wow! Beautiful. Peace

Thank you it was an incredible encounter, awesome and sad all at once

[@nomadicscuba]

Great talking about this on the Scuba Goat Podcast Jason, high 5's to all involved!!

[@WaftyHippyLass]

Thanks so much for this video and for taking action. :)

[@HayleysComet3]

Thank you for helping that ray. I would be afraid of getting jabbed with the barb.

[@bluecornerdivenusapenida65]

Well the good thing about mantas is they have no stinger, they lost it through evolution and use their speed and agility to escape from predators :)

[@HayleysComet3]

@@bluecornerdivenusapenida65 Oh, I did not know that. Thank you for the information.

Wonderful! It's heartbreaking to see wildlife impacted in this way by us humans, so to be able to help and cut off some horrible fishing lines like this is a privilege. Well done! :)

[@bluecornerdivenusapenida65]

thank you it was gratifying to help this poor girl out

[@borges9009]

Awesome, guys.

[@kitsnap1228]

Thanks guys!

[@BlueSpiritFire1]

She's probably thinking 'Wow, these are the best cleaner fish ever!'

[@bluecornerdivenusapenida65]

haha maybe :)

[@YesItsReallyKeith]

did you get the hook ?

[@bluecornerdivenusapenida65]

unfortunately not but I am reliably informed by the manta expert here that they can grow out so hopefully she will lose it over time

[@farzadz.3895]

Great job guys!

[@bodge6886]

Well done👍

[@konradbauer685]

one of our oceans most fascinating and beautiful majestic creatures , i remember my first encounter with these social giants was in Mauritania ( Nouadibou) they jumped out of the sea at some 60yards from me it was as big as a World war stuka bomber from the Germans with his enormous span of his body, and it sounds like an explosion or a canon shot when they land on the surface again i really was impressed by the cheer size of those Manta rays our oceans are filled with beauty and exotic life and we have not yet discovered all of it

[@bluecornerdivenusapenida65]

they are the most amazing creature, never been lucky enough to be underwater when one has jumped though, lucky you :)

[@konradbauer685]

@@bluecornerdivenusapenida65 indeed,it i also am fascinated by these majestic creatures and their very friendly and smart behaviour i love the aquatic world and the many life forms and beautiful pallet of colours displayed when swimming or diving i feel like being in my real universe when swimming or diving its like a very distant memory that appears out of the fog of my previous lives lol 😉

[@robertarmstrong7130]

This is what diving is all about!!! Good job everyone...

[@VidsPaul]

Fantastic. Well done !

[@joemchenry3750]

Great Job!! I always carry scissors for just this type of thing. TIP: I went to a medical supply for mine. They are high grade stainless but more importantly they have a blunt "scoop" on the bottom jaw so you don't have to worry about poking skin while getting under the line. A little pricey but well worth it! >

[@paulrichards2365]

Have you needed to help any creatures with it. Are there so many creatures that need this help?

[@gunawanantigam33]

thank you,.. good job

[@skysurferuk]

Could you call that a sawtooth dive profile...? 🤣 Good job!

[@bluecornerdivenusapenida65]

thankfully it was shallow in only 8 or so meters her buoyancy control was awesome :)

[@taraann7753]

Wonderful work..my thanks to you.

[@ValGol23]

Супер! Молодцы!

[@americanrider]

I have heard that bubbles from divers hitting their underbodies bothers them considerably

[@bluecornerdivenusapenida65]

it wholly depends on the individual manta, some of them here are ok with it some almost seem to seek it out and some absolutely hate it

[@krusty6246]

The writing was too small but great video anyway
