While I’m snorkeling, this Pacific Manta Ray, Manta hamiltony, with two large Remoras approached to me. The elegance of this gentle giant is stunning.

Im very envious of the clarity in the water that allowed you to make this capture of the beautiful interaction.
Norbert Probst
It took hours to erase all particles in the water. But for this picture it was wise, I think.
