Let’s pause for a moment to enjoy this beautiful underwater show of #MantaRays in #RajaAmpat. Raja Ampat holds a distinguished position as a marine #biodiversity hotspot within the wider #CoralTriangle and Raja Ampat is home to two species of manta rays: the #reefmanta ray or #Manta alfredi and the #oceanicmantaray or #Mantabirostris. Both species are known for their distinctive appearance, with large, flat bodies, wide wingspans, and prominent cephalic lobes (or "horns") on their heads. Manta rays are known for their elegant and acrobatic swimming, often seen gliding through the water with effortless grace. Our dive buddies here are so fortunate to be able to enjoy and witness with their very eyes the Mantas gracefully dancing on the ocean floor. Every #dive into the #undersea universe, especially in places like Raja Ampat, unveils spectacular #marinespecies.
