These majestic creatures measure a maximum of 5 meters wide. However, Oceanic Manta ray can grow up to 8.8 meters wide. The Reef Manta ray is what you will usually see in our waters. Contrary to popular belief, they are actually harmless. They do not possess a stinger, as they are often confused for stingrays. Also, their food source consists of the microscopic plankton, krill, and jellyfish. Swimming with these creatures is an experience of a lifetime. You can watch a video guide to sustainable Manta interactions HERE. Besides, it should be done in a responsible manner.

• Do not pursue or startle them or cause them to feel intimidated.
