Manta Rays are large animals with a wingspan of four meters (13’) or more. It’s always exciting to encounter such graceful creatures during a dive, but even more rewarding when you can capture an engaging photo of your experience. It can be creative to position yourself to include the reef as a nice foreground within your image while capturing the subject over a beautiful blue water background. 

Equipment: iPhone 16 Pro Max in a SeaLife SportDiver Ultra housing, 0.5x iPhone lens with a Sea Dragon Duo 6000F Color Boost Photo-Video light.
