60 Minutes and Manta Rays - Day 2 of an Exciting Adventure

The team spent all hours on day 2 of our adventure looking for manta rays. We dived as many times as we could, searching the wonderful Maldivian reefs for these graceful creatures. Scientist Mark Meekan brough his measuring device, that he can use for in-water measuring of moving objects, like sharks and rays (also used to measure sharks in Palau).

Still no manta rays, but great schools of fish!

We were all very happy to see these healthy reefs, but… where are they???

We were not the only ones waiting out there…

Even remoras can get desperate…

So day 2 was a day without mantas, unfortunately. Life is not always easy here. But I can already promise you some really spectacular shots for tomorrow!
