My first night dive was a manta ray dive. There were two - one with an 8'
wing span and the other with a 12' span. Lights are used to attract the
plankton which, in turn, attracts the manta rays.
Tech Note: All pictures were taken without flash using
an older digital camera in a underwater case set on manual.

Here's a manta ray in the back flip position of his circle scooping up the
plankton.

Even if you don't scuba dive, you can still snorkel and enjoy the
fantastic experience of watching the manta rays.
