Diving the Flower Gardens
The Flower Gardens is a marine sanctuary located 70-100 miles South of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico. Manta Rays are one of the big treats you have a chance of seeing on these dives, but this was the first trip (of 3) where I was lucky enough to have a fun encounter.

gorgeous video
Your video quality is outstanding! What kind of camera equipment do you use?
I’ll be visiting this fall. And y’all be sure I’m not going to bother marine life the way such a bunch of dive-posers did here.
Great video, one of the better videos I’ve seen. Lots of wonderful life there. Hope to visit there sometime.
Nice!
that is a very good quality video
What camera set up are you using?
Amazing Video. I did not realize we had a marine sancturay off of our coast line. Stunning – thank you!!
great video quality. Do u think a go pro hero 4 black edition would have similar video quality underwater?
Excellent video. Thanks.
There is some pretty poor etiquette by some of the divers which is always sad to see. Touching marine life is foolish and should be taught not only in the OWC but in every course. I think I’m going there at the end of this month. Fantastic video though!

Why did that guy touch the eagle ray, do not do that kind of stuff while diving.
Humans: Please stop touching wildlife!!! Give them the respect they deserve and protect them.

Hello, I am spending my summer as an intern at NOAA fisheries through a scholarship program, and I am conducting research on the giant manta ray for my project. I saw your encounter and would love to learn more about your manta ray sightings. Could you provide the following: date of this sighting, and the sighting location (this may be in the form of a geotag from the device you used to take the video), and an approximate size of the animal? If you are willing to share this information, you can reply directly to this comment, or shoot me an email at adamsdelaney5@gmail.com. The information you provide will help us learn more about the spatial distribution of this endangered species. Thanks!
