One of the thrills of diving in Raja Ampat in Indonesia is the close encounters with giant manta rays - and this excellent video shows exactly what you might encounter if you're lucky
Hard to believe it's almost a year since I went to Raja Ampat in Indonesia. On my Raja Ampat trip report, I posted some of my videos of the giant manta rays at their cleaning station in Kri - and a couple of days ago I got notified that YouTube user Sulyokpisti had posted a response - which turns out to be this beautifully shot video of the mantas which you can watch below. Thanks Sulyokpisti! There are several more videos under his profile name too.
And as well as that, here's a great Raja Ampat photo slideshow and video from Sterling Zumbrunn of Conservation International.
There are quite a few other Raja Ampat videos on YouTube - I need to spend some time picking out the best ones to show here. It's an easy way to lose whole days of my time!

Hi Archie, I think Palau would be your best bet for mantas and sharks and to be land-based.
