What a truly amazing story. Almost too unbelievable. I'm giving this one a gold medal among all the Blue World clips. Definitely heart warming. Thank you so much.

[@michelebinder]

Yes, Adams... it was a truly amazing experience.

[@stilcrazychris]

WOW great story. I love stories about helping the wildlife. Makes me all warm & fuzzy inside... lol... I believe if they, the wildlife, come to you for help is OK. But some can, most likely, be very scared & you still need to help them. They just don't know that we're trying to help them. Thanks for sharing that great story with us. Have a wonderful day, Chris from Missouri

I had not thought about the bubbles as something fun to offer the animals under water. :) It is hard to understand their size until you see a person with them. wow they are big and graceful.

[@scubadivingviolet2108]

I absolutely love stories like this. It’ll put a smile on my face for the rest of the day. A truly amazing experience!

[@BlueWorldplus]

I'm so glad!

[@elaineb7065]

Cute, heart-warming, & adorable. If I get to dive with sea creatures, I'll use the cat rule: if they want fusses, they'll come for them. If they don't, they won't. Simple

[@robinotero]

What an amazing story! Dive Stories is definitely one of the best series!

[@laranadesign4764]

I find it amazing that they seem to understand human needs (don't swim too fast and brought you back to the boat) but the average person knows so little about the manta's needs. Admirable intelligence with a quiet nature.😊

3:11 isn't it forbidden to touch a Manta Ray because these giants magic carpets have some sort of sensitive slimy skin 7:15 this one is like a steathy fighter jet

[@Sojourning_]

[@jonathansantos2271]

Are you folks the oldest diving couple? We are knot almays that fortunate everytime and with such motivating speed. I don't know other couples who are like you two. Are you two of a kind? When is the next underwater mission? Manta rays are like angles of the deep💙🖤🤍 Thank you for visiting....

[@scottm6927]

Beautiful story. Beautiful people. Beautiful creatures. Doesn't get any better!

[@mavica130]

Videos that prove animals have a soul are heartwarming

[@thatoneguy7047]

I just returned from a dive trip to Indonesia and we saw two mantas. One swam circles around us and came within arms reach. It truly is an awe inspiring and magical experience.

[@BlueWorldplus]

They are smart and curious.

[@MadMatt13]

Magic!

[@chisaquaticvibe6524]

Manta rays are eagle rays.

[@BlueWorldplus]

Not exactly, but similar.

[@MrAllrich]

I remember seeing a photograph of Howard Hall on the back of this Manta. 🥲🥲 many, many years ago. It inspired me to start diving. The Sea of Cortez was my favorite place. Dove there for 20 + years among the whale sharks, Tuna and Manta rays. Also got to meet Hall on one dive trip. 💕💕👍

Howard has a famous picture of a diver "riding" a manta ray, using the remoras as "handlebars". The diver is actually Gordy Waterman, and Howard shot the picture. He isn't really riding in the animal though, because the remoras don't actually cling well enough to drag a diver. He was swimming along pretending to ride it.
