Hey Cap...What you are hearing the locals say is "manta-raya". Not Monterey. That's a big city in Mexico.
One will also hear them referred to as "cubana". Why...I have no idea!

... Manta rays are rarely seen in the Sea of Cortez now, having been mostly killed by fishermen. They can reliably be seen at the Revillagigedos
Islands, about 250 miles south of Cabo San Lucas, but sightings in the SOC are unusual. Mobulas, on the other hand, are still relatively plentiful in
the SOC. They are the rays that commonly breach and launch themselves out of the water, which is a spectacular sight. In my experience mobulas are
most often seen in the summer months.
mdcaton,
I've also witnessed many leaping Mobula in the East Cape/Bahia de Palmas area. And like Ken said, mostly in the summer.
Baja sounds like a real long shot for Mantas now a days.
(Personally, I've never seen one in Baja waters).
If swimming with a Manta is your goal, maybe another Location will heighten your odds. Throughout the 90's I made many trips to Puerto Vallarta and
had regular Manta sightings on the southern shores of Bahia Banderas.(mostly fall). In those days, I saw them while Kayaking/small boating as far
inside the bay as Los Arcos(islands/rocks) and Mismaloya beach. (reachable by car-& as close as 200 yards offshore).
This could be an alternative option to the Revillagigedos Islands to start a Manta search.
But, that said, I don't know what toll the "sea Scallop" industry has taken on Mantas down there over the last 10 yrs.
GoOd LuCk,

I'm curious to know why they jump? Is it flight from predators, chasing prey or just for fun?

Festus the prevalent opinion among marine biologists is that they jump to dislodge parasites and other hitchhikers. I prefer the anthropomorphic
explanation - it just feels good!
