Manta sighting

A little baby manta with a wingspan of about 3 feet breached the surface of Singapore waters today just after Cyrene Reef on our way to Hantu this morning.

It was absolutely crazy! A Remora was splashed onto the deck after its little display, a good brief moment for divers so see and feel what these little cling-ons are like.

Unfortunately we didn't manage to get any pictures. It was too fast. We stopped the boat and waited for awhile, but it took a dive after the breaching and that was all we got to see of it.

It's an unlikely resident and is probably lost, but it's a reminder that these aren't just "Singapore waters" and that all our oceans are shared.
