DESCRIPTION
The Manta Ray Wall is a rare and spectacular phenomenon that suggests a form of cooperation among these magnificent marine animals. Manta rays are known to form groups called "schools" during seasonal migrations. These gatherings create a fascinating underwater spectacle, with the manta rays swimming in harmony, creating an atmosphere of community among these deep-sea inhabitants. This shot provides an intimate look into the hidden world of manta rays.
