Manta Ray - Devil ray - Giant manta ray
Face to face with this giant of the lagoon of Mayotte. I saw him arrive from a distance, shaving the sand like a fighter. It was the moment not to miss. I took a deep breath and I went down to stick myself to the bottom and face him without moving. It is then that she is passing just above me, like a plane taking off. Magnificent!!!!!
