Manta Ray at Elphinstone Reef by Andy McDonald

Our new instructor Cyril and his guests were joined by a Manta Ray for 10 minutes this morning on the North Plateau at Elphinstone Reef. They were at a depth of around 30m. Cyril estimated the wingspan of the manta to be approximately 4m!

Hi there. I'm a marine biologist at KAUST and doing a study on manta rays in the Red Sea to understand their distribution and movements. Can you provide me with the date when this lovely encounter was had? I'd like to add it to my database. Thank you!
