Hi again Aaron my brother in law lives in New Zealand, he was half scared to death when a manta passed over his head whilst taking a photo it was so massive it blotted the sun out for a second with its shadow. Huge fish. Great shot as ever LF
Aaron Whittemore replied:
Andrew, they are massive indeed, but also harmless,unless they run into you of course. Thanks for the exciting story of the encounter, and also for your gracious comments and support.
