![Manta Ray Night Dive HD
Incredible Night Dive with Hundreds of Pygmy Mobula Devil Rays, at Tower Rock in the Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar http://freedom-divers.com
The Mergui Archipelago is famed for encounters with all manner of Sharks & Rays and various other large pelagic animals. One of the highlights of journeys into Burmese waters is diving at the remote (and sadly, rarely visited) Tower Rock, far to the North in the Mergui Archipelago.
During the day, one can expect to dive with dozens of Pygmy Mobula (Devil) Rays. Due to the remoteness of the dive site, it is virtually impossible to Night Dive at Tower Rock, as one must travel over night in order to reach the next destination by morning. However, on a recent trip, due to bad weather, we were forced to remain at Tower Rock for the night...
Shortly after dinner, one of the Deckhands came into our saloon and told everyone there were hundreds of Mobula Rays using the ships lights to feed off the plankton. Of course our team didnt think for more than a second about jumping in! No wetsuits, no weights, cameras half charged, tanks filled, and in we jumped. The results, I hope everyone will agree are (in perfectly keeping with our Incredible Fish Footage releases), literally Incredible!!
