- Manta Rays, Eagle Rays & Mobulas. Part 6 of the DVD, "Reef Life of the Andaman", available at www.bubblevision.com/marine-li... or view the whole 2-hour video at • Reef Life of the Andam...
The video stars giant manta rays, Manta birostris, the world's largest ray and an icon of diving in the Andaman Sea. Giant manta rays are graceful and intelligent fish. We encounter them at various sites including Koh Bon, north of the Similan Islands in Thailand, and Black Rock in the Mergui Archipelago in Burma (Myanmar).
The gill rakers of manta rays are used in a traditional Chinese medicine that is thought to detoxify the blood. Because of the rapid increase of this lucrative trade, giant manta rays have become endangered.
Before that we meet spotted eagle rays, Aetobatus narinari, at Black Rock, and a smaller devil ray, the smoothtail mobula, Mobula thurstoni, at Tower Rock in the more northern part of the Mergui Archipelago.

I dove with mantas on Manihi at a cleaning station. There were up to 8 at a time. It was amazing. I shot several vids of them, but never got the furling of the cephalic lobes. Well done! Thank you so much for sharing.
I was diving under the Blue Heron Bridge in Florida with my brother and dad when we saw a school of around 20-25 spotted eagle rays soar by. It was amazing. They are so graceful.
I love how they just glide along so peacefully.
Thank you. I'm glad you like them.
Yes, scientists decided that some of them are a 2nd species, Manta alfredi, most commonly known as the "reef" manta ray. It's a little smaller than the giant manta ray, Manta birostris, and can be distinguished by different markings. I have filmed one in Fiji (you can see a very short clip of it in my video "Dakuwaqa's Garden"), but the ones I have seen in Thailand and Burma all appear to have been giant mantas.
Thanks very much. I'm glad you like them.
I have a newer, HD video, *The Giant Manta Rays of Thailand* at ua-cam.com/video/kK_hJZo-7-k/v-deo.html

Watch the full 2-hour documentary at: Reef Life of the Andaman (full marine biology documentary) ... Coral reefs, tropical fish, sharks, stingrays, marine life, shipwrecks etc. from Thailand and Burma.
Loved the video!!!!!! Great job...such beautiful creatures!!!!!
Do not kill off the beautiful manta ray population!!! They are harmless
Great video. The underwater wildlife is such a wonderful creations.. Will be diving soon :)
just beautiful - cheers from Romania
К сожалению, я не знаю этот язык, но так красиво смотреть!!!! Я беру себе все Ваши ролики.
Great footage!!!
I have never heard of one biting. A mobulla or manta is more likely to give you a slap with its "wing" if it is distressed.

EXCELENTEEEEE
Curious question… are any rays able to regrow their tail? Say it got cut off by a boat or bit off?
I hate it when animals die over stupid superstitious medicines.
Did you know theres a second species of manta ray that was discovered not too long ago.
Are eagle rays in this part of the world equipped with venomous spines? The ones I filmed in Hawaii and Belize don't carry barbs of any kind.
I watched the whole documentary, but honestly, I'm just repeating this video for the music.... can't find this track anywhere. Where can I buy it or download it at least. ... ? (the first part)
There's a version of it here: www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=249862&songID=2988430
I jus luv stingrays
is it possible to have a sting ray as a pet?
