    The sad thing is that the friendly types of Manta Rays are going extinct due to them being easily fished by their friendliness and it left the reclusive types of manta rays in the gene pool, in the next 50 years it wouldn't be surprising if we wouldn't be able to interact with them anymore due to all ray with friendly personality has all been fished out.
    Just like the increase of tuskless elephant population in Africa.

    I had the amazing experience to interact with a Manta Ray off the Kona Coast in Hawaii. It was at night, in a lighted area. It kept doing summer salts in front of me, within an inch of my body. It did this over and over. The mouth was wide open and I’m sure it was feeding. I couldn’t figure out why it kept banking so close to me. I certainly didn’t mind. It was amazing.
