Last Thursday I was diving at Hin Muang / Hin Daeng in the South Andaman Sea (SW of Phuket, Thailand) when along came a very large Manta Ray. It cruised around for quite a while. On the next dive, a couple more Mantas arrived and glided around for most of the dive. They seem to enjoy swimming through bubbles. One came within a meter of me before passing over my head. Magic!
