Two large Oceanic Manta Rays swimming over corals and small black fish

Rays Moving Peacefully in Shimmering Blues.

In this scuba diving video clip, two oceanic manta rays swim peacefully above a coral reef. One manta glides to the left and the other to the right through the water near the bottom with sunbeams breaking through the surface. The rays move slowly, flapping their wide wings as they drift along. Small fish swim around them, and the coral reef below adds texture to the scene, with different shapes and colors visible. One of the manta rays keeps swimming passing over the lens that is taking this shot.

Footage of A Couple of Oceanic Manta Rays Swimming with Fish And Corals.

To capture this sight of two oceanic manta rays gliding over Indo-Pacific coral reefs, a team of skilled underwater videographers used the best diving lenses and gear. Available in both 2160p 4K and 1080p HD, this footage is perfect for use in documentaries, educational materials, and projects focused on marine conservation. The landscape (16:9) format beautifully showcases the manta ray's impressive wingspan as it gracefully navigates the colorful coral formations. Additionally, the portrait (9:16) version is tailored for sharing on popular social media platforms such as Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

Manta rays are distributed globally, primarily in warm waters, but they also venture into temperate regions. The giant oceanic manta ray is the largest species of ray, with individuals reaching up to 9 meters (about 30 feet) in wingspan and weighing as much as 1.8 tonnes (about 4,000 pounds). This species is often confused with its close relative, the reef manta ray (Mobula alfredi), but can be differentiated by size and subtle differences in their color patterns. The oceanic manta ray is generally darker on the dorsal side with distinct white patches, and it lacks the spots seen between the gills of the reef manta.
